I guess if I upgraded, it would be because it would be the last hurtle to
overcome in ham radio license wise. I don't have the room for a large base
station or antenna outfit, and I doubt I would get into much contesting
either. In fact, I think there is a bit too much contesting. But I'd like
to get the highest class license if I can. I was never good at that kind of
math even when I took it in high school. 73.
