  • Trying to study for extra

    Mike,

    The only other thing is me balking at the cost of a decent radio
    setup.

    Yeah, why are hobbies always so damn expensive?

    They're like spouses or significant others...we're married to them,
    and all that goes with them. <G>

    Do you, Sysop, take this BBS to be your lawfully wedded spouse??

    OR

    Do you, Ham, take Radio, to be your lawfully wedded spouse??

    For "the rest of the story" on the latter, go to https://www.theweatherwonder.com/elk.htm -- and look for a file
    called "The Triple Play". It is full of ham radio humor and puns.

    Daryl, WX4QZ

    ... Why were the Indians here first? They had reservations.

    I'm currently studying to take my Technician and General exam at the same time, using an app on my phone from Hamstudy.org The app was like $3 from the app store (I have an Android phone, I'm pretty sure it's also available on iOS). All it does is ask you the questions on the test. if you get it

    I've using Ham Test Prep which is similar, I guess, except it doesn't give you more information, which sometimes help stuff stick, or explain it. I picked up a book somewhere which was pretty decent. It's used so I didn't pay full price. Books are easier for me to read then I can practice on the phone.
