At least we have someone to thank for hard work, Jim. That being said....You gave an earnest effort and did a great job. I don't know how hard others have worked but how can it take 3 years to proces
That would be interesting to see someone lose their license for accepting payment in the course of operating an Amateur Radio station. LOL. 73, Korey YI9VCQ/KA5VCQ __________________________________

Come to YI land and you can rack up the points. Heck, there?s only THREE guys here who compete! ;-) Plenty of room for more! 73, Korey YI9VCQ 1st in Iraq-- ARRL DX SSB and CW, CQWW 160 CW, CQWW WPX S
