That cup is a collectors item!

I never had a Novice either. Fact is I had a 1st Class FCC Radiotelephone commercial ticket before I ever became a ham. Code was hard for me. So I went from nothing to Tech, a few months later to Advanced, where I stayed for years until code went away. Then I got the Extra.

Kept the 2x2 advanced call because they don't give them anymore, it marks me as being of a certain era. (So I'm an old fart)
