Posted in: Ham Radio, Testing | Comments (0)
I have finally scheduled my test for Extra Class. 29 April is the day. I have been taking tons of practice tests and studying away. Lately my scores have all been in the upper 80′s and lower 90′s so I feel like I am ready.
I will let you now how it goes.

Studying for Extra Class
Posted in: Ham Radio, Testing | Comments (0)
I have begun studying for Extra class exam. This is some seriously tough stuff to learn but I think I am about ready. I have been taking tests from QRZ.com and aa9pw.com. I have been using the AD7FO Extra Class study guide along with the No-Nonsense Extra Class guide by KB6NU.
These are both great guides. They tackle the exam different ways but are both effective. The AD7FO guide is strictly a question and correct answer guide with some discussion put in to help you understand the subjects. The No-Nonsense guide is more of a disussion based guide that tackles all the questions in a discussion type format.
If you have any suggestions or material that you think will help, please let me know.
Below are my grades so far, I think I am getting close:
