[RTTY] Fwd: Southeastern Division Survey Question

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

My Uncle just passed his Extra with very little actual on air 
experience.  He passed his Tech about a two months ago.  He said the 
test were not that hard if you studied properly.  I guess the 
winlink/autoresponder guys think this is CB, or want to make it that way.

He is going to get his Dad's, My grandfathers old call, which I think is 
really great.
