I passed my General Class examination today. I missed two questions; at least 75 percent correct is required to pass. I have gained privileges over a much larger range of frequencies in the high frequency (HF) bands. I will need to add the suffix "/AG" ("temporary AG" on voice) to my callsign if I use any of my new General Class privileges before my new license grant appears in the FCC database. After that happens, I am going to apply for a new vanity callsign.
I am going to take a break from serious studying and enjoy my new privileges for a while before I get around to upgrading to Amateur Extra, the third and final FCC amateur radio license level.
Congratulations Steve on you licence upgrade. You have a world of amateur radio waiting to be discovered on SSB. Looking forward to reading reports about your adventures in HF radio.

Thanks, Andrew! Perhaps one day we'll share a QSO.
