I thought we were just doing another practice session, but when we were done and he looked at my copy, he said that I had passed. He said that he didn't want to tell me that we were doing the test because he didn't want me to get nervous.
My scoutmaster, K2EAW (SK) did the same thing to me. Told me I had passed and gave me the written to do next. Back in the day when a single General could do the test. Sometime in 1968 so I guess I'm 50 years now too. Wow how time flies. Still a great hobby. Working on passing it on by helping with classes with two local clubs.
