RadioReference Certificate

[mikewpu04]

I was thinking... would there ever be a possibility of this site creating a test or an evaulation of one's scanner skills to pass and earn a certificate?

I was fortunate and learned how to program radios at a major TV station. It may sound crazy, but I would add something like this to a resume in the future, if it existed!

Also maybe for the major scanner software... cerifiticates of advanced knowlege.

Just a thought!

 

[phillydjdan]

Just... No....

 

[KK4JUG]

No

 

[KevinC]

We could call it a Scanner Master certificate...oh wait...

 

[snerd]

It would be as cool as CCW badges!

 

[mikewpu04]

I get it... bad idea. Lock the thread off and let it die its dignified death. please.

We are just having fun with you poster, it's always good to get a good laugh here on RR. I can equate it to something like The Wizard of Oz gave to the Scarecrow.

No. Because KevinC would get tired of handing out participation awards

 

[vagrant]

He would of course get a special certificate...Maître du scanner Officiel de RR...With two gold stars on it.

Yep, the late Tom Kneitel.

You bet, I didn't mention him but he was a great guy, I had spoken to him a few times because he had the greatest frequency listings in the late 60s early 70s and I started a frequency listing service myself. I also used the bright red and orange colored paper so it couldn't be mimeographed LOL.

He was a great author and wrote great articles for all the magazines we both know. Them were the days!

I doubt that would go anywhere. Just follow instructions and there are always YOUTUBE instructional videos that cover all of that so no need to be silly about it.
