Passed the Technician Exam today.

[Herr Walther]

Just returned home from the exam and passed the Technician exam with only missing three questions.

They talked me into taking the General Class exam and bombed that big time. I was not prepared for that and didn't know but a few of the answers. I guessed at nearly all of them. I only got 21/35 right on the General.

Congrats, keep studying you'll get it. Then go for Extra. I passed all three the same night, so I no it can be done.

[Herr Walther]

If I'd know they were going to offer up the General exam back to back with the Tech I would have studied for it. Bummer..

I took practise exams for a week before taking the Tech and passed every time. I did the best on the real test though. I surprised myself.

Most of what I knew came from being a RadioShack store manager for six years and Air Force electronics training. I had to look over Part 97 for operating rules and I was good to go for the Tech.

Now you've done it. That's going to make a serious dent in your gun and ammo budget.
Study for the general and extra test. You can practice here. https://hamexam.org/
I've had my general since 2011. I think you will enjoy it. You have privileges on 10mts.
I'm in the process of moving. When I get an antenna back up, we should try it.

It's going to put a heck of a dent in my model railroad budget too.

I'm trying to swing the Kenwood TH-D74A. I hate to buy something less because I know I'll be regretting it if I settle for less.
