A friend sent me this recipe. My new call sign is KB3SZG. I don’t know what exactly I’ll do with it yet (as I have no radio transceiver), but it sure makes me feel awesome to have set out to do something very specific and concrete and to have achieved it. My CSCE (certificate of successful completion of examination) was signed by three other hams, VE’s or volunteer examiners. There were a million of those dudes in the room we took our test: Pioneer Hall. Gordo was right, I think, when he said in that book about amateur radio being a sort of fraternity. All the old guys had plastic name tags with their call sign underneath. And the one guy said that I would get an invite to the Laurel radio club. Too bad I won’t be around for a while to go check that out. I wonder what they do at meetings, eat cookies? Talk about electrical engineering? Who the hell knows! Leaving for NYC tomorrow. Found a place to stay. Should be in the afternoon. Email me your contact info if you haven’t already. I’ll be around for a few days, so we should be able to work it all out.
