| I have been taking the practice exams and blacked out all the other answers in the Q&A book and I am scoring in the 70s on QRZ and right at 80 on hamexam.org. Like I have said this will be for emergencies when we are on vacation and for use when we are in MT and in the Yellowstone area next year. I am interested in RACES and ARES but I don't know how much time I will have to devote to emercency comms. But thank you for all the help I have the tech test on the 1st. I will start looking at the general tests this week maybe. |

Both your gear and you need exercise from time-to-time to keep the joints loose. |

Yes, even if you're well practiced you forget. After a few months you end up having to look simple functions in the manual to use the radios. Local repeaters that have been the same for decades change. We get lonely out on the nets.....
There is a little practice required. |
