If Anyone needs one of Gordon West's Study guides, let me know and I will get it out for you.
I have all three. Just pay them forward when your done. Patrick AE5xx |

I could use the EXTRA, and pass it on to one of the handfull of other Generals in the Washington Hometown forum hams when Im done. I know we have 4 Generals,and 20 + Techs.
I know that ASG, and JS98010 are both together over in Iraq, and have IM'd me about wanting to get a Tech Lic. |

Tech is simple. simple simple ohms law stuff is about all the math on the tech.
Safety stuff, like a hard had and glasses when working on the tower, avoiding electrical lines, stuff like that. Who is responsible for the operation of the station, def of remote versus automatic, that kind of stuff. I read the Gordon West tech guide through one time and never looked at it again. Went straight to general and extra after that. You can do the qrz online practice exams for a couple weeks and ace the tech. |

R-32 Extra is yours. IM or email with your address to send it to. Patrick TA If you have an apo address for them, let me know, or I can send tech book also to you. Thanks IM enroute, If specter_actual wants the Tech Book, Send it his way. I will go hunt down a copy of the new ARRL book, and send it off to those guys, I dont think Tech books should be that hard to find with word of mouth around the local club.

Lostangel I could use the General manual here. Got my tech last month and HF look interesting so I need to upgrade. IM me with address and it is yours. That should be all 3 books spoken for. Everyone get me their address (R-32 I have yours) and books should go out by Tuesday at the latest. Monday is usually hectic at the office. |
|
Specter I did get your address. I will try to get it out Monday, if not definitely Tuesday. Monday is kinda hectic here most weeks. It's usually hard to get away for longer than a few minutes to get a sandwich lol. But it will go out by Tuesday.
I still have the General study guide available if ant Tech's need it. Patrick |
