Wow. Well that's a good thing. I got my extra class license
back when you had to send and receive 20 WPM. On the other
hand, I have no problem decoding VOR/LOC or NDM identifiers.
A lot of the newer radios even decode those for you now.

Any body in the DC area ready for the test the last weekend
of February, I will be your DPE. I've been running the tests
at the VWS Winterfest for 15 years plus now.

The funniest VOR ID story was I was riding in the back of the
plane while my wife (also an Advanced class ham) was doing her
primary training in. The instructor and her had dialed up
the EMI VOR and they were getting screwy readings. They
actually had the ID turned up through out this whole process.
I finally had to point out to them that it was sending TEST
over and over.
