Hi Bill,<\/span>

I’m not sure what’s in your sacrificial solder but it sure is good stuff!!!<\/span>

I received my results today and I’m very very pleased to say I passed.<\/span>

Now I can finally set my mind to building a shack…<\/span>

I’m going to celebrate by ordering one of Tim Walford’s excellent looking beginner kits and I’ve just started building Tony Park’s Ensemble RXTX.<\/span>

I’m not sending in my cert just yet though as I want to pass my morse test first.<\/span>

Thanks again for the kind support, I’m sure it got me a good few percent on the test!!<\/span>

Also thanks to Steve Smith WB6TNL and his words…<\/span>

“Thousand of people have taken this examination and passed. There is no reason why I cannot also pass.”<\/span>

He was right!<\/span>

Also I hope Dave passed, unfortunately I didn’t get to meet him at the exam, hopefully we’ll figure out how to contact each other, it’d be good to have a newly passed fellow ham to share ideas with.<\/span>

Regards, or should that now be 73 :),<\/span>
