My test is scheduled!

[RockyBennett]

I got a job offer in Billings Montana. Upfront paid relocation costs. I haven’t had time to do anything but pack, ship and gripe. It’s been a complete nightmare. My wife doesn’t drive and I have two cars to move and a 26 ft u hual to manage all by myself. I actually thought about killing myself. Good god. It’s been horrific, but also nice to a small degree. I’ve increased my income by 20% and I’m also in a much better place. No more rioting.

I rescheduled my test for the 21st. So no word on that yet, but I make your bets. I will be taking it then unless I die. I’m exhausted and start work on Monday.

Wish me luck.

On a side note, I’m living in a two bedroom house now, can I use galvanized pipe with a normal mount for a good ground plane? 1” pipe x 12 ft?

I’m going to bed.

How did you do yesterday?

 

[Floridarailfanning]

How did you do yesterday?

I'm curious to know also, although I think we all already know. . .

 

[RockyBennett]

The OP will come back that he only failed the test because the FCC got the answers all wrong and his answers were better.

February 2nd. Wish me luck or curse me. Whatever suits you. Do all of you guys actually repeat your station ID every hour? That’s ridiculous!

I know, I’m petulant. It’s just weird. Look out amateur band, I’m coming for you.

D.

Best of luck.

I love this new 1 hour ID rule. Much easier.

The frequent mention of his desire to kill himself is both sad and telling about his approach to life. Hope things improve. Suicide is permanent solution for temporary problem. It guarantees things wont get better.

I thought the same thing myself. Between his different threads and different posts, he has mentioned "killing himself" on a few different occasions.

I hope that the OP is alright and will report back.

OP hasn't been here since Feb 24.

 

[RockyBennett]

I hope he is OK.

 

[KB4MSZ]

Ok, be honest. Is anyone else still wondering?

 

[cmjonesinc]

If he passed the test? Or if you can use a tee to tie together two transmitters through one antenna and not burn something up in a few months time? (you're welcome for the alliteration).

I am absolutely still wondering about both of those.

 

[Floridarailfanning]

Yep, still wondering also.

 

[k7ng]

Ahhh, nope.

 

[KevinC]

I'm pretty sure the deep state snatched him up because he was about to blow the lid on how we've been told wrong about physics all these years. C'mon man...

And whether or not he is still alive....

 

[jonwienke]

He logged in April 18, so either he's alive, or one of his heirs has access to his RR account. My money's on a test failure due to the VEs not accepting test answers based on alternative physics.

Did the OP start this thread with the intention of getting some of the membership fired up with his comments about the FCC test questions and how ridiculous they are (in his opinion)!! I'm really leaning in that direction and see no other purpose to his criticisms than to inflame
us with his statements.

I don't know if we will ever hear from him again, and I surely don't care if he takes the test or passes or fails. His attitude speaks volumes as
far as I'm concerned. He won't get any good luck wishes from me. Just my opinion!!

 

[alcahuete]

Nope, don't even care.

I'm sure he took the test multiple times, failed, and gave up. Kinda funny since 6 years old kids are passing the tests these days.
