EV>Howdy! Daryl,

  Hi, Ed...

EV>Hey!, Thanks!!!!, I like being correct once in a while, instead of being
EV>corrected all the time.

  I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong (hi hi).

EV>Sorry about the Typo on Your Name in another Reply.
EV>At least now You know I don't use a Script that makes the second line in
EV>a Reply, only the first line is made by settings I have in MultiMail.

  You have fat finger syndrome, as I do. But, without fat fingers, how
do you pick up the food and the silverware?? (hi hi).

EV>Last year I tried a Search on DuckDuckGo.com to learn about what You said
EV>about Vibroplex getting lots of orders for Bugs, but couldn't find a link
EV>to anything like that.

EV>Would You have a URL about people recently learning CW because they *WANT*
EV>to? ? ??? ??? ? ?

  That's what I understood. Bear in mind that the CW requirement ended
over 11 years ago now.

EV>That saying doesn't apply to me.

  I will admit when I'm wrong...I like to be sarcastic every now and
then, when I'm in one of my nether moods.

EV>My reason for thinking it was stupid is that the VEC Organization is asking
EV>a Ham who's License expired to complete a exam for a Class of License LOWER
EV>than the one the Ham had taken for the HIGHER Class License.

  Well, the FCC made the decision of revising the rules for the lapsed
licenses...and I think there was a period of comments and reply comments
(I think that's an NPRM)...then they issued the decision July 21, 2014.

EV>I'm thinking on the FCC Form 610 I sent to them asking for the Novice Exam
EV>papers back in the Summer of 1958 asked that question about being convicted
EV>of a felony.

  I wasn't even born yet. :P

EV>Computers do Paper Shuffeling faster that a Clerk can do it at the F.C.C.
EV>Office, don't they? ? ??? ??? ? ?

  From what I understand, at ARRL/VEC, it takes less than a minute to
key in data from each NCVEC Form 605 and the paperwork. They're faster
typists than I am.

EV>3 years is about the same time span as the Doctor that does mine has Me
EV>come to see Him.

  I'll miss a couple of nets before and during the procedure, but I
shouldn't be QRT for too long.

Daryl
