[NFB-Hams] planning for ham classes

[Aaron Cannon]

Hi.

I've used that site as well, and it might help you pass the test, but a class will for sure make it easier, and teach you the concepts behind the questions, thereby making you a more knowledgeable ham in the long run. As you've gathered, there is a distinct difference between power, voltage, current, and the like. :)

Good luck!

Aaron

Thanks to an email from someone else on this list though, I have been using hamtestonline, and I'm 70 percent of the way through the technician license material.  The site is good, but it does have a tendancy to ask questions before it's introduced the material, which makes it nearly certain you'll be answering that same question plenty of times before you can advance to higher percentages.  It's mildly irritating.
