I use the App Amateur Radio Exam prep on my iPad. I have my tech and I intend to upgrade to my my General and extra. I should of done this a long time ago. I am trying to cut done on the number of books. The theory isnt the problems with me. It's taking the time to take the test. Maybe before the summer is over I will be done. I keep passing the test with 98% So I am confident that I will pass. Its just another test in the long line of certificates that I have done over the years.This will be the last time that I upgrade. Hopefully I will enjoy HF like I used to when I was in the Navy. Keep studying and help fill the ranks.

Is a very good question Dennis... I was a radio operator in The Army many moons ago,, now have a brother in law who is Big into ham radio being search and rescue out west. So I have been interested in getting my license, just not much time to go to meetings/classes with my job... Tanks for all the replys,,,, Monkey

A very addicting and expensive hobby. I should have done it years ago.

I took a class, and we used the ARRL study guide, and everybody passed. Been a Ham for 1 year so far. I really like it. It is very addictive. Kinda like RV'ing. Ha Ha. Good luck with your license.
