Congratulations.

I upgraded from Technician to General in 1985. One of the happiest days of my life, getting rid of those Novice/Tech band/mode restrictions and 250-watt power limit.

Something on my to-do list. I was one of the last "technician plus" class hams from 1990.

Congrats on making General. It took me eight tries thanks to the 13 wpm code test back then. Now, go for the Extra!

I'm part of that last class too, I became a Tech + in 1990 as well.

Cangradulations! BTW, I got to get a "round-tuit" myself and go for my General and beyond.
