bump and update....

I had zero radio experience/knowledge and enjoyed the class. I passed the technical test (offered by another club) 2 weeks into the class, however continued to go for personal learning experience. As others have mentioned, you can pass the test with a few hours of studying, however wanted to mention the benefits of a class:

- networking
- cheap! The Longmont club gave you a free baofeng after passing the test, discounted text book, etc. The cost was marginal.
- some people lean better in a classroom atmosphere and when there is a commitment/dedicated time to the task

I have yet to participate in a conversation over the radio, however still listen a lot.

Cheers,
Tim
