    I forgot it all the second I learned I passed the exam!
    ...
    "NO!!! I passed! I'm doing a brain dump the second I walk out this door!"

    You must be so proud.

    As a matter of fact I was, do you have a point or just being a troll?
    If it is the latter, might I suggest Facebook? It is the perfect platform for that type of behavior..

    Hello, Mortar!

    Replying to a message of Mortar M. to Rug Rat:

    You must be so proud.

    Last month's meeting, we had one of our members who is the East Coast regional sales director for Bendix King, a high-end radio manufacturer, take and pass his Technican test on a whim. I am a VE for our club and I dared him to doi it. We do not charge test fees so he took it...and passed. LOL

    We give him a hard timr now about being an "accidental ham".

    He was able to get BK to donate a special system to us that allows club members to usxe both our 2 meter and220 meter repeaters over the Internet. The system is called InteropONE if you want to look it up.

    I am an ARRL-accredited VE with the Laurel VEC out of Laurel, Maryland. It's one of the oldest VEC groups and they do not charge a test fee for any amateur radio license test.
