RSA Presentation Complete, Extra Exam Coming Up In August

Yesterday afternoon I finally completed the English version of the wireless security presentation that I have been drafting for the upcoming RSA conference in June. Now all I have to do is put this into Japanese, which I will complete today. The research that went into this work extends to about a year back, when I was developing, designing, and basically trying to break as many proximity RFID systems as anybody would allow…. there are legal implications and the proper sign-offs are required when you do this kind of thing.
Yesterday alone, Akismet filtered out 12 spam comments that I did not have to deal with. This is certainly a reward for the setup process.
I was looking through the ARRL web site yesterday and noticed that there is an amateur radio exam scheduled for August 1st at the YCAC – walk-ins allowed. I’ve decided to target that exam opportunity to sit for the Extra examination, then probably go ahead and sit for the GROL (elements 1, 3, and 5) right after that. The only catch with the GROL exam is that I cannot find a place to take the examination. If anybody has any experience taking this exam in Japan, please comment.
