My 12-yo son used it to study and today at Dayton, he passed the exam! Thanks for such a clear path for him to follow - he wouldn't have done this without it.

My son-in-law and I used them for our Tech tickets in August '10, and he upgraded to his General(again, using your study guide) last year. I am currently studying hard to upgrade to General, hopefully before Field Day. Thanks, again. 73's Tony KJ4OEQ Dan,

The coverage will improve once I get it to 100 watts at about 50-60 feet soon. 73, Stuart, KD8LWR Hi all,
