Having just returned from the local VE session where I passed my Extra, I was excited to get on the air.

What is the definition of HOT!? Usually every year we have a drenching passing thunderstorm here in Louisiana. Not this year, 107 degrees alongside the Red River in Bossier City LA is the true definition of HOT!
