In that situation, in the US it would be: 0. Decide on what license class you'd like to test for: Technician (VHF/UHF and some limited HF CW), General (Seems to be most HF users), or Extra (shoot for the moon). 1. Acquire the appropriate study material and study it/memorize the answers. 2. Find a VEC, schedule and take your test. 3. Buy (a) radio(s) appropriate for the mode(s) you want to operate. 4. Try not to cause QRM! :D I think most folks enter through the Tech class license. I also agree that memorizing the answers isn't the way to go but when given the structure of testing it's almost unavoidable. That's a philosophical discussion/holy war that has decimated many a conversation. Thanks for the kind words and the constructive input. I think more amateur radio shows on HPR is a great idea as it fits the theme quite well. cmh - -- Happy Hacking! http://manor.space/~cmhobbs GPG: 1200 0808 F968 47AB F489 91A3 FE26 6FFB 1A77 0868 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJYcCT5AAoJEP4mb/sadwhol6cP/2cwjgVqXRMG6TnaDdeabpdP vElOxAzrA9K/oHCr8upcdFnfS8yJyEE+emrSYcK2srx9Nd9gTmgmtJjK3p+cOx7E h5E0XJf2dwb4rLJMuHxOaBiXa/LdyzXgV+ZsIQy09dR6vIIbOwGCPh8nTP5+mGpF uxqWuEkWXgM2E7rjrozoYye5GRJdXPsaBDQNyXSYBY86i5OO/AHMBBK/XNvQuK2v 1R+VAT6cvJnYNz2kxV4qxoF/7C/mVwVXXfFcy/tHlRoYRjfiOS4I1PcCARi7+gj2 AFXbKNLqOFPhC56WCnk2/0Av7a6Zgk0+y4lrZSqGrB6SrURsD3G58svEElUYpvLL 9p+92AIhCZifzHhEyCKCY4xoeL8DpZ0ouSypp3YtKCK2+JF+YV3W7IrK+hoCVDaH qGAIzQe5KLLyPrDtE/yWYy1BuyOvN0mDxpKHdF0LiczgQqnaP4j5YHBj9fnJ1jJk VvSAEnU2UVGgJJwO+KACPvsGEYFTERxr9NZvyFaz70oQKhgQ+8WqZmg3dvQTZpVZ 58CDVG8SV34w1ZaqCssu88ZCN0RGtIoVQkQ7TnWTx+Q0iv+b7x+TM1TOI5MqrTnE emYj8ueoubjkR7MeXO/SMlNRALK4yzYG5BSlF1I1yftaZZrHPFXmvZG1JDO+hqoG y7Y7DcEtd6gxdoAwTuPf =Y9SW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list Hpr@hackerpublicradio.org http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
