It's every year. The original certification was a 40 hour course. It really sucked.

I remember one of the annual drug lectures. The instructor actually asked if anyone had ever had a drug problem (like anyone would have admitted it if they had)

I popped up my hand and explained I had been strung out on Hokey Pokey but had turned myself around.

ZING! Right over her head!

I got my ass chewed out by the office for that one and practically everyone in the class wanted to beat my ass because they had to keep serious straight faces.

Couldn't copy you on 20 at all, which I thought odd.

You gotta remember all bets are off because we just went through a MAJOR solar storm.

It takes a while for things to get back to normal.

Is there any interest in having an informal rag chew style net on the ARFCOM frequencies?  This may help other operators use to hearing a set group of calls on the frequency and may help establish it.  I won't be able to make it every night, but could try making it a couple of additional nights per week.

I'd pop in from time to time.

I could do that, and they could get used to some jackass asking them to repeat their call sign 10 times so he can get it correct.

I am now in the world of TV screen radios. I can always go back to the Kenwood 440 / Yaesu 891 if it is too stimulating.
