I spent yesterday wandering around Pacificon. Nothing too exciting to report: I picked up a book or two, no major purchases. The QRP related activities were a lot of fun, and I managed to win a bid for a BLT tuner kit from qrpkits.com . Oh, and I decided to try to upgrade my Technicians license. A month ago, I had read most of the General class license pool, and was taking online tests, and scoring in the 80s or so. Last night, I reread about 60% of the question pool. I ended up missing only a single question. It was free to try to take the Extra exam too, so I gave that a try. Sadly, I didn’t do as well (missed a passing grade by three questions). Still, upgraded to a General, hooray for me!

I’m gonna head out to the swap today (for which I am certainly too late to get any bargains) and hang out for a little bit.
