I feel the same way... a good radio has been on my list for years now... I just need the time to sit and study and take the test!

Welcome to our new home, Borregowrangler !!! You can take practice tests and study on-line for your Tech license, so you can go at your own pace. Or many amateur radio clubs offer weekend classes - take the 1 or 2 day class, and take the test at the end... usually there's a fee for the class, but it definitely saves time.

Good to see you over here BorregoWrangler.

Check out http://www.qrz.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for a place to take free ham practice tests. There may be others, but that's where I studied when I got my license.

Hey, thanks guys!

Yeah, on my last trail run, Eric (SD Native) was telling me a couple ways to go about getting the license. I got a new CB I gotta install here soon and then I'll be looking into getting a HAM and licence.

My friend at work conducts Saturday classes around San Diego county. Class is free and test costs $5. I'll keep everyone posted when the next one comes up. I know he has a General class test coming up in June.
