And the fact Morse isn't required will drive some here to apoplexy. So much truth to that statement. Soon enough you will be able to discern who the phrase "the usual suspects" refers to. Be prepared for a bit of this too... Till then, enjoy and welcome aboard. Congratulations on passing the exams. Maybe catch you on the air at some point as well. 73 John
Thanks AG4RT. I'm new to QRZ, but I'm a veteran of the internet and very well equipped to filter noise, haha.
Struggling to correctly send "Mississippi" (John's home state), in Morse, might drive me to apoplexy.
John, congrats on new ticket, and welcome to QRZ from a neighbor over in central Louisiana (near Alexandria). Vy 73 es DX, John N5CM
Seriously, WELCOME. Don't let negative comments that sometimes (always?) show up. We are here to help you. Again, congrats and welcome.
Hi John: Nice to see that you're from Wayne County! I retired from the USAF last Monday and will be headed back to Moss Point, MS soon. If you ever get down this way, look me up! 73 and welcome! Jim N3AWS
If you stick with the Technical Forums, a lot of the noise is pre-filtered. Opinions prevail, but where don't they? Welcome to the hobby!
