WRUU653 Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 I also aced my Technician test and I had not studied for the General so when they offered to let me take it I kind of wanted to go out on the high of having done perfect so I didn't take it. Now I just haven't been consistant in putting the time in due to outside distractions. I won't say I wished I had because who knows and I did enjoy the drive home that day. I'll get there. I don't think it's a hobby where you'll ever know it all, at least I don't think I will. I kind of like that. always something to learn. SteveShannon and AdmiralCochrane 2 Quote

You could likely study up a little and go pass it. Exams are usually given free, and while a new license now carries a $35 fee to the FCC, you can upgrade from Tech to General free. I think the "flash cards" option is the easiest way to study for the exam: [url]https://www.hamexam.org/[/url] The hamexam.org flashcards were a really big help to me (I just passed my General class test this Saturday). Thanks for the tip!!!! WSEZ864, SteveShannon and AdmiralCochrane 3 Quote
