Thanks.

It's funny. I was going down to meet my friend that gives the tests a letter 
he needed for legal stuff in our LUG. He said, while you're here, take the 
test, it's just $12. So, I did and passed tech and then they said... The $12 
gets you as many tests as you can pass. I took the General and passed that. 
So I tried the Extra and missed passing by 8 points. Now I gotta get my code 
so I can keep my general test. I have a year to get 5 wpm. Should be easy.

And, 2 meters and 70 cm is probably a more sure bet than 6 because of IRLP. 
Pretty cool use of the internet to interconnect repeaters. But it depends on 
if someone is running an IRLP repeater node near you. I have 4 of them here.
