Re: Former Amateur Radio Operators.
I got my Novice license in high school at the urging of my Tech Ed teacher, who was an Extra class... he challenged us to take the test in 45 days. He scheduled the exam, brought the volunteer examiners (who were his friends) into class, handed us pencils and said (with a smile) "just don't embarass me." (A little challenge and encouragement goes a long way.) An hour or so later, there were 3 new licensees in the hobby.
A few months later I sat for my Tech, and then pretty much put it aside and haven't been active since.
24 years later, I find myself studying for my General.
My goal is to sit for the General class exam prior to the question pool change this summer, and Extra exam before the end of next year.
