Post by: GreenGoon on January 13, 2014, 02:13:40 PM: That's the way I did it... ;D

Don't forget the online practice tests! I got my General License like this. ;)

Post by: SoCalXTerry on January 13, 2014, 02:17:05 PM: Ditto.

As a matter of fact their are enough web apps available that you don't need the class.

Post by: knightrider on January 13, 2014, 05:19:52 PM: some peeps dont learn well from books, so these classes help those fellers. and ill give another hoohaa to the practice tests.

Post by: GreenGoon on January 14, 2014, 10:26:40 AM: If you are determined to get your ticket, it might not hurt to just buy a radio and listen. ( It's only illegal to transmit without a license.) You can learn a lot by listening to nets.

Post by: knightrider on January 14, 2014, 03:34:24 PM: That is a good idea, I this before I had my ticket. Most ht radios can lock out the PTT button so you don't accidentally transmit

Post by: Lava on January 25, 2014, 09:43:34 PM: I know. The instructors here said they hand deliver to the VEC in La Mesa, who inputs into the FCC system by Monday. After the FCC computers refresh at midnight, my callsign will be live on the FCC site. I wont have the paper license in hand for a while, but, I can still TX with just my call sign according to the instructors. ;D
