Ta Forbes,
I just got my Ham ticket (Technician) two weeks ago. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. LDG Electronics gave out free hand-held 2 meter radios to everybody that passed the test.
You can take practice tests online as often as you like until you feel confident enough to take the test and then go for it! You'd be surprised as to how much you already know. Check it out. E-ham.net has the practice tests and QRZ.com does too. With QRZ you'll need to register (free) but not at Eham.
The current question pool expires sometime in June or July. After that there will be a new set of questions. If I remember correctly there are 392 total questions but only 35 on the exam. You need to get 26 right to pass.
You can do it!
Dave
