I was privileged to operate with John (and a bunch of other top-notch guys --
"Let your house be a meeting place for sages; sit in the dust of their feet;
and drink in their words thirstily." ) in a Curacao CQ CW MM expedition around
1979. I already knew of his skill, but I learned what a fine gentleman he is.
Since then I have always stopped to work him in any contest. One time I even
pulled the dusty microphone out of the box to work him in SS Phone (1 QSO, 1
Sect, 2 points).
I think John could have passed the exam any time he felt it would help his
score. Seeing as how he has been beating us >>without<< the Extra Class
privileges, all I can figure is that we are all going to be moved down a few
more spots in the standings.
