Thats right /AG... To all of you non hams out there, that means that I have now successfully passed the FCC Element 3 Amateur Radio exam, thus making me a General Class license holder. The /AG is the way I have to identify when using my new privileges <a target="link" href="http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/genmen/uls/call_res.hts?db_id=19&rows=&callsign=KC7IIB">until the FCC receives and processes all of my paperwork</a>. Recently the FCC changed the licensing requirements for Amateur Radio eliminating all <a target="link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code">morse code</a> requirements. I had already passed my Element 1 exam many years ago which covered a 5wpm <a target="link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code">morse code</a> exam. However with the new change the code test (element 1) is no longer required. This has caused a renewed interest in Amateur Radio and has removed a barrier that was preventing many people from upgrading in the past. For me, it just kind of worked out as I already had the Element 1 exam behind me... But at any rate here is to being a General now..... '73 KC7IIB /AG |
