The next step

While the "bug" is running in me, I had a go at the online advanced exam yesterday, on the radioelectronicsschool website. guess what? I passed that too. I may bone up a bit, and knock that one over while I am feeling adventurous.

I Passed

Well, I passed the regulations exam, now just to wait for the WIA/ACMA to get their gear together and issue the new callsign.
All candidates who sat the regs exam passed incidentally.

Regs and more regs

The last two weeks have been taken with regulations, interference, band usage, power levels, license privileges, Q codes, permissible transmissions, distress calls etc.
Most of the work has been done with the aid of the CD2 from Radio electronic school set.
I am consistently scoring better than 80%, which is a pass. Just do a couple of test exams each night and I should be right. Next Friday night is the regulations exam, that is all that is required for the upgrade now.
