I stayed at advanced

I did too for many years. I never operated a ham rig until I got my advanced. My first attempt I missed 13 WPM code but got enough characters for 5 WPM credit. Had a tech for about a month. Went back and passed the 13 WPM code and the advanced written.

The ticket you hold in not important, but what you do with the hobby. I feel the same way about my commercial license, even taught classes for that at Dyess AFB a couple of summers. Great bunch of tech, I really enjoyed that.

I passed the 13 wpm after everyone decided that I needed a waiver because of my hearing loss.

I have lost hearing (don't tell my 3rd ex that I admitted that). I can still copy code with a good DSP filter and high volume.

I didn't take the waiver. I did it the right way.
