Comms: Need to Know what you Know

[streetglideok]

Any one worried about passing the test it is a breeze I did about 4 hours total study time and passed with a 31/35 on Thursday

Yep, its a little known secret that those who passed the tech test know. The tech test at least, is fairly easy with only a little studying. Its a little theory, and mostly regulatory. There really isn't an excuse to not have a license and possess a radio "for emergency use only". I literally threw a study guide at my wife, gave her a day to study and we aced the tests the next night. The general test is harder and more involved but doable.

Congrats on passing DFB btw.

Well, I broke down and bought the study flashcards for the technicians test along with a Yaesu ft-60R. This should prove interesting....I've not studied for a test since college and that was a LONG time ago!

Hey hatidua, I've been running through the flashcards on the site linked below. You can get free flashcards for all the tests in case you want to study for general or amateur extra.

Figure out why my 5R isn't transmitting. I've been through a few different sites and all settings look good.

That part is easy. Leave the wife at home, and go to HRO on Iliff and blow a load... of money.
