I'm rather pleased
Now, I admit it was, to no small extent, just the luck of the draw : the questions I was presented with happened to be ones I was less than totally unprepared to answer. The examiners kept bringing me the tests, & I kept taking them, which is nothing new in my life, & the last one I passed with no points to spare.
Still & all, though, there wasn't another one to be taken after that, & one of the examiners said it was only the third time he had ever seen a new license candidate pass the Technician, General, & Extra classes all in one sitting.
So, the paperwork has to go to Newington (Connecticut), thence to Washington (DC), but within probably 10 days I will be a fully-licensed Amateur Radio operator, with the legal right to do all manner of crazy things, such as carry on conversations with people on the other side of the Earth by bouncing radio signals off the Moon.
EDIT : Just call me AE5VI
