I passed the test!

[Cavman]

I have a friend that has an Electrical Engineering degree that has been ham radio guy for many years. His has the Advanced License. My goal for over the past 15 years was to have a license higher than him. So yesterday I finally passed the Extra License exam! :D
The other bonus is that I can be on more of the HF band spectrum.

Being mostly right brained, the learning has been a slog for me. Also, I haven’t had any electrical courses for over 40 years. I have been studying off and on for over 15 years as life gotten in the way.
Soon I’ll start one of the Gordon West code courses as I learned enough code to pass the Novice class back in the mid 1980’s.

Congrats. I got mine way back in the 80's and I found it tough then. Now I would never be able to do it.
Very well done, I admire you.

Ironbuttdean get on the hamtestonline.com program. It was suggested by some VEs to me a couple of weeks ago. I was using Gordon West’s book for a while but the online was better. It would explain the information better. Rehashing questions I was missing, etc.

Congratulations! I got my Advanced back in the 80's. Never went for Extra. Haven't been active for several years now. I'm glad to see some are still pursuing and enjoying it.
