My name is Boyd Travis of Jonesville, Lee County Virginia. My Amateur Radio Call Sign is N4TUX. I am currently a General Class Operator. I also was the 1st. Contact V.E. offering Amateur Radio Testing in Lee County, Virginia. I got my Novice license back in 1985. I took my 13 word per minute code requirement code exam at Shelby, NC. ham fest and passed it there. I passed my General written exam at Gate City, VA. testing session in Gate City, Virginia. I have used and enjoyed using morse code for a couple or so years while having just a novice license but id rather use voice communications any day. I have been a firm advocate of getting rid of the morse code requirement personally all along. Just because I had to take and pass the morse code requirements doesn't mean others should have to! It doesn't make any one person amateur radio licensed person any better than any other just because they passed morse code exam requirement. I try to enjoy the amateur radio "ham radio" service / hobby with any class license person who is nice towards me! Not acting or treating anyone with a lower class license any different. I do not look down on lower class ham radio licensed people or person's. It is not nice at all and I hate to see and hear of other licensed ham radio operators who have been treating other amateur radio operators of lower class or no code tech. ham radio operators with attitude that is not nice. I hope you can enjoy amateur radio "ham radio" service / hobby as my wife Robin and I "Boyd" do, with a nice mannerly friendly way and treatment to all not just a few according to their class of license. I have some ham friends who do like morse code and I respect them liking morse code but these friends I have that happen to like morse code do not look down upon tech. class hams. My wife Robin Travis's call sign is W4TUX. Robin is a Technician Class Operator. Robins older call sign was KE4FFP. I have worked for the Lee County Public School System for approximately 20 years. I permanently injured my back on the job lifting and unloading concrete picnic tables off a shipping truck. Its hard being disabled now. I can not walk or stand for more than 15 minutes at one time due to severe back pain due to this injury. I live with my loving wife "Robin" and my loving daughter "Sarah" and with my God as my strength and Savior, I will try to live and enjoy life best I can. Amateur Radio "Ham Radio" is a part of something I can do and enjoy to help me deal with this pain and injury. One Ham
