Congrads! The only way I can update your membership to use your call is to remove you from the membership list, which I have done. Reapply using your call this time. Jack, W8TEE From: "frye.dale@...

A week ago last Sunday took the Technician test. Passed it. Then took the General even though I hadn't prepped for it. Passed it. Got my ticket today. Please add my call sign to the roster.

No, but I did learn that I cannot edit your data. So, if you want to add your new call, you'll have to edit it yourself. I do see you back on the roster and Dennis told me he approved it, so you should be good to go. So far, I'm happy with the group and there seems to be some good info flowing back and forth. I hope QST sees this interest and starts having more construction articles. I was happy to see one in this month's issue. 73, Jack, W8TEE From: "frye.dale@...

All of a sudden I was no longer connected. Was wondering if I had been a bad boy. Whew! I've really enjoyed being on this group.

Sounds like were from the same era. I got my ticket in 1954 and have been licensed ever since. Been a Life Member of the ARRL since 1972...best $150 investment I ever made! I know enough electronics to get into trouble, but am fairly good on the software end of things. I love to build stuff and wish I was a EE guy instead of an economist!? I'll be doing Field Day from the club station, W8MRC, mostly on CW. 73, Jack, W8TEE From: "frye.dale@... [SoftwareControlledHamRadio]" To: SoftwareControlledHamRadio@... Sent: Monday, June 20, 2016 9:25 PM Subject: Re: [SoftwareControlledHamRadio] Got my ticket! I am planning on going to a field day somewhere this Saturday. I suspect I will go to the North Fulton (Roswell, GA) one since it is nearby and I can only do it for a couple of hours. I've received invites to others in the area. Wow, Hams are a friendly bunch! Unfortunately my friend, Steve Hudson AA4BW, won't be here. He will be working CW QRP from Palau, Micronesia! He does have different call letters for there but I don't know them. (I better ask quick before he leaves!) Steve talked me into getting back into Ham. I did start on getting my Novice 40 years ago but things got in the way. Little bit of background - I have been involved with computers for 40+ years, soup to nuts. The past two years I've been playing around with Arduino and ESP8266. I'm strong on the digital side, hardware and software. The analog side is quite a bit rusty. Hoping being a ham will encourage me to improve that deficiency. Steve and I have been talking about direct conversion receivers so when I found this group I was really excited.
