Re: Imagination Game
Today's Subject is about Percy Verance.
Did Percy pay back your Verance or was it all a wasted effort.....
I did a Percy and ended up gaining my Amatuer Radio Licence 100% by Verance.
I had no clue really about electronics but I gained help and became a parrot through going to Evening Classes and ok the class was full of Men..Nice one Di you could gain some insider assistance here if you flash off a bit of what the Men are looking for...so that way I gained lots of past exam papers and some close encounters, my knowledge was just repetition style, monkey see monkey do. Comparison to;- you share your's and I'll share mine. So I passed my Radio Amatuer Exams which was Multi Choices and The Morse Code Test at a special Unit. Now I am able to tap out messages in coded form,to people all around the world. example:-
--. --- --- -.. / -- --- .-. -. .. -. --. / --- ...- . .-. / ..... ----- .----. ... / ..-. --- .-. ..- -- .-.-.- / .-- .. ... .... .. -. --. / -.-- --- ..- / .- .-.. .-.. / .- / --. --- --- -.. / -.. .- -.-- .-.-.-
Was it all worth it, well it is an expensive Hobby and you can just use a long wire Antenna which is cheap to buy and easy to put up.., but we went for the more popular set up and have a beam antenna on a small tower, we bought it over here with us to France where we have not used it in 6+ years....so worth it,,,yes at the time but do not think I would bother now, given the technology of today's variety of communication set-ups
You can see the size compared to the rotary washing line. It is in the lower position and stays like that unless in use, then wound up.
So I started off intending to have some imagination with Percy Verance but got more serious for some reason. Oh well..c'est la vie
maybe you can add stuff you have achieved or imagine yourself to have done.....
