Clint, Remember this one for your Extra exam...

Ascending passes cross the equator going south to north. Descending passes cross the equator going north to south. So the answer to the first question would be C and the answer to the second question would be A.

Funny you should mention this. Just for the exercise (and to see how I would measure up to US standards without any study), I tried a practice Extra exam on the ARRL web site, and this question came up (I got it right, BTW :) ).

And for the record, had that been a real US exam, I would have passed easily. :)
