However, most hams that operate HF        DS> have the General Class license.              Yeah, I totally agree. I got it because during the NJQRP Skeeter Hunt contest       last year (was also today, coincidentally), I kept hearing people just below       where generals could go. So I figured between that, and having the shorter       call, it was worth it for my occasional contest or for getting into pileups       more easily.              But once I started studying the extra material, I realized that it was the       first exam level material that was really interesting.              - Andre, WT9X              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Raspberry Pi/32)        * Origin: Runaan BBS (1:154/70)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 123/130 154/0 10 30 40 50 70 700       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114 229/101 200 312 424 426       SEEN-BY: 229/664 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/5003 292/854 8125 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 342/200 423/81 3634/12 4500/1       PATH: 154/70 30 10 221/6 1 292/854 229/426           |
