Ham test & swapmeet 3/20 @ NVCC Annandale campus

[emorth]

Anyone interested in getting a Ham license? Tests will be offered from 11:00 to 1:30.

There will also be a swap meet (radio, computer & misc electronic goodies) in the parking lot (also known a "tailgating") and in the gymnasium.

Sooo....do I need to study for said exam?? Or is this one of those things where I can read the pamphlet 15 minutes before and have a better than 50/50 shot at passing?

It may take more than 15 minutes, but 10 year old kids have passed the test. Lots of info available, search ham license sample questions. I took my technician class test in 1973 and I had to know Morse code too. Lots of things have changed since then. I think the test is easier now and Morse code no longer required for any level license... and yes, I am an old fart.

Time to study for the General.

Patrick, I studied for 2hr the night before for the technician and passed with 100%
I'd say it's easy to remember questions and answers, but knowing the material is a different story.

I have a HAM for Dummies book that is actually pretty good. I'll be there - I've been meaning to take my General.

I hope to make the Vienna/Oakton Highschool meeting tomorrow night and meet the group. If anyone else is interested, let me know.

I've been studying (read working through the question bank) and am going to try to take the test Sunday.

Go Stump! Take the General test while you are there.
StaleAle & I will be there cruising the swap meet.
See Ya.

Good luck. We need one more General class licensee with a VE and we will be able to give the Technician class test at a club meeting. Hope to see you there.

I don't think I could wag my way thru the general exam... I have just enough base knowledge to pull of the tech.

How many generals do we need to give the test?

I keep meaning to go to the lib and sighs out a book.

Lots of practice tests on line.

If I can be of any help to anyone, please let me know.

 

[Stumpalama]

On my way.

 

[traveldud]

headed over too

 

[Stumpalama]

I'm in the testing building.
Just passed the Tech, waiting to take the general.

 

[Stumpalama]

... and crash and burn on the general... though I hadn't even glanced at the general stuff.

 

[emorth]

Congrats Stump!!!

One out of two isn't bad, especially if you didn't study.

That would be sweet if the club could administer the test.
