   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.
