The Technician and General licenses are both /dead/ easy to get now. No CW at all, and simple 35 question multiple choice tests. I got an 80% on general without having studied for it. I actually feel a little guilty about it. :) There's tests monthly at BYU, and several other locations in the area. $14 to take the tests. If you want to do it, go study the question pools online, use the practice tests for a couple weeks, and then go get your license. As for giving a presentation, I think I'll leave that to someone who's been on the air for a while. I don't even have a radio yet. *grumbles* -- Matthew Walker Kydance Hosting & Consulting, Inc. - http://www.kydance.net/ PHP, Perl, and Web Development - Linux Server Administration /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
