Thanks for the kind words everyone.

The examiner wanted me to do all the tests at once based
on my technical background (Electronics Tech for 29 years - Red Seal apprentice and journeyman)
but I wanted to do better than just passing.

I am not sure what the exams are like in the U.S. but in Canada, the level
2 Advanced involved stuff I learned 20 years ago; lots of classic circuits,
tongue twisting formula, scientific calculators required, etc.
It is all about being able to build telecom equipment and do it right.

Anyway - thanks everyone!
I will advise on the call-sign once my choice is approved...

Get this:
My number one pick for a call sign ends
in "WWV"

Ironic?
Maybe.
