Ham Test and Chinese New Year

Most of the day we spent in far east Mesa at a Ham Radio Club at their practice meeting -taking the Ham Test- which I passed:). I spent many months memorizing totally irrelevant factoids about electrical circuits, laws and "safety"- among other things. They made me do my first transmission to the head of the Club (Dave) who was home sick. I had no idea what to say to him. I bought an el cheapo little radio, and now all I have to do is figure out how to use it- a whole different level of learning. It will take a few years, I'm sure. Tonight is the Chinese New Year celebration at Mesa Center for the Arts where Chandler Children's Choir will be performing! Waiting outside before the performance:)
