Hi,
Congrats to you, hope you pass your test.

My name is Carolyn, I now live in Eastern Tennessee. I moved here in 
September from West centeral Florida which I miss, but had to move because 
things weren't working out in Florida for my son-in-law. He lost his job and 
had to give up his home. I'm getting used to this area.

I got my novice ham ticket in April of 1983, and in October of 1988 got my 
extra. I do get on some, but once I get a better antenna up I can get on all 
the bands hopefully.

Carolyn Kj4vt
