Passed my Amateur Extra exam just now. This stupid thing with my foot did at least give me the opportunity to study for it.

Public Congratulations are in order. Well done.
I'd say go to the bar and put it on the Popes tab, but I suppose in this instance that is a given.

Band edges? Band edges!?! We don't need no stinking band edges!!!


well, ok, we do, only the big bright ones. Go forth and propagate!

Did I mention Congratulations?!

Thanks, all y'all! I’m way more excited about this than I expected I'd be.

BTW, according to §97.528, amateur radio operators with Advanced Class and below licenses must address an Extra Class license holder as “Mr. Amateur Extra Sir” in conversation.

According to that Wikipedia article, he did. The rat bastard.

It's ok, though — I excommunicated him posthumously. You can do that when you're Da Pope, you know.
