I have my ham license. Not sure if be very good at teaching anyone. I just studied the hectic test on qrz.com and then took the test. The actual questions are on qrz. I'm thinking about studying up and getting my general so I can start doing some HF stuff. Ham is not a hobby for me. Only reason I got involved is in case something happens and cell phones go down, I have some means of communication.

I'm kinda in the same boat.
I ordered some Boafengs and a study guide. I figure I could probably pass the test with a lot of study, but if I dont have anyone to "mentor" me I will probably lose the skill. I'm in Huntsville (South Huntsville) |

Eham.net has a lot of great resources as well as practice tests.
I spent a night taking practice tests and got my tech, took the general and failed by two. If you pass the tech they let you take the next one for free. Haven't really done much with it, I'm ashamed to say. Thanks for the reminder. |

If someone would teach a class/overview I got two for sure who would attend. On a Saturday.
I can arrange for a classroom setting in central AL. Maybe a slight fee for the room. ETA: So I made a contact through one of the existing training providers many of you are familiar with. We are working on getting this put together. As soon as we get something I will let you know. |

I'm in the 90% sure this is going to happen. May even have a firearms training component.
We have two facility options, both have classrooms and range access. |

I used HamSudy to get my license. Passed tech and general on first try. Picked up my extra about 6 weeks later. Because there is so much interference where I live, I haven't done anything with it. I could use a refresher.

I managed to get my general. Been a while since I have played around with my radio. Discovered my license expired a few months ago. Trying to get it renewed now.

I passed and got my Tech last month. I'm now looking to upgrade to General. Our local group tests every other month and are testing again in April.

So if this thing happens in April, I will more than likely not be there.
I've gone from mostly free to every weekend I now have other things going on. Class I was supposed to be attending right now, the range got flooded and they moved it to April. |
