Joe,

I've been watching. It seems to be you've really been
earning your upgrade, and after the fact, too.

I'm still a tech plus, but amateur radio came long
after my deepest electronic education (provided by
US Navy, and absorbed by me with a real zeal), and
ham radio has always been kind of a side-show as
compared to the electronic education I've gotten via
plain old MW DX and also the Navy and VOA: experience.

Maybe I'll hit the wall MW-DX-wise somesday, and
then buckle down and really learn CW, or bone up on
RTTY, since I can't talk.

But congrats to you for learning bunches over the
past few weeks.

Thank heavens some hams want to advance beyond being
2-meter appliance operators!

73 to you!

Charles
