Ed,

EV>If I took the Extra Test again I probably would flunk again because of some
EV>questions like those two.

  If renewal meant retesting, the hobby would've died off long ago.

EV>But whats a LID to do?

  Act as a cover on a container (hi hi).

EV>Now YOU have access to ALL OF the Ham Frequencies I could use as a General
EV>before the Part 97 Rules changed where a General (or Conditional) Class Ham
EV>couldn't operate on some Segments of the HF Bands anymore.

  You still have to stay 3 kc's away from the edge of the band, to avoid
going out of band.

EV>P.S. Everyday I turn the Router ON (after I've turned the DSL Modem ON),
EV>I wait ten minutes before turning this XP box ON, and think about You told
EV>Me to do it that way, to keep the XP box happy (and Me happy TOO!).

  With Microsoft ending security updates for Windows 7, I've purchased 3
copies of Windows 10 Pro, 32-bit, from a local Best Buy. They were $60
cheaper on each one, compared to what Microsoft wanted...and had to get
a copy for each computer here. At least I'm not in a big rush to do the
upgrade, but will have them done this fall.

  Hams are frugal cheapskates. <G>
