[rescue] Ham license question...

[James Fogg]

I took the test on a chance one field day about 8 years ago. I had been playing
with radio for years and passed with a 97 or something (now N1QCO, Technician
class).

> Without judging those who have passed the tests recently, all I can say is
the no code test is quite easy. I had grand plans of studying for the test,
working on remembering spectrum allocations, formulas, etc. but when it came
right down to it, I found that all I knew for the last 20-odd years was all I
needed to get a passing score. >  > If you have a chance, scan/review a license
guide at a local Radio Shack, then just take the exam. If there is a cost, it
will be minimal, and if you fail, you can retake the test at any time. >  > Ken
