Hi David. Congrats on passing your extra. This is Aimee in Jacksonville FL waiting to take my technician exam either end of April or beginning of May. In some ways I'm kind of new to this whole ham thing, and others I'm not. I'll go into that some other e-mail. Anyway, I've given myself a temporary callsign, x4ncy, (no callsign yet). Anyway, just wondering if the 4 is part of a vanity call, or if you're from the land of 4 originally? If that is a vanity call, is the ADV FOR ADVANCED? If so, you might want to change it to ext or xtr or something like that LOL!. Well, I've chattered enough for now. I need to give someone else some airtime. Take care, and look forward to talking with you soon on air. 73 Aimee Lewis X4ncy "Be well, do good work and keep in touch."
