Sean,
At the end of the day though, it is all about what you do with the
hobby.
Do you, Ham, take Radio, to be your lawfully wedded spouse?? (hi hi).
At my ham club meeting Saturday, we had a guy who got his Extra
on his second try. It was great!
Now, have him apply to become a Volunteer Examiner (VE). :)
The hardest thing about being a VE though, is NOT getting a team
together, getting a facility, selecting dates, or getting materials.
It's trying to convince someone who did NOT pass the exam on the
first try that they are NOT a failure.
73,
Daryl Stout, N5VLZ, UALR Ham Radio Club VE Team Leader
