The First 100 Years Are The Hardest

 After much study this summer I successfully passed my Amateur Extra exam on 10/2.   I used Herb’s remote VE testing group which was administered by Michael, WT9V from the local Ham Radio club K5RWK.   The remote exam was completed Friday evening via zoom meeting, at the lake using my laptop and phone’s hotspot!
