Comments on: No-Nonsense, General Class Study Guide http://www.kb6nu.com/no-nonsense-general-class-study-guide/ Having fun with amateur radio Mon, 21 May 2012 20:50:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Joe http://www.kb6nu.com/no-nonsense-general-class-study-guide/#comment-335517 Joe Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:21:34 +0000 http://kb6nu.com/no-nonsense-general-class-study-guide/#comment-335517 Thanks for you work of love and making it available to us, The No-Nonsense General Class License Study Guide. I'm an old guy, 68 and taking my Technician test today. The reason being is I'm a American Red Cross volunteer. I've been with their DAT (Disaster Action Team) but I just joined their DST (Disaster Service Technology team. I would guess that more then half the DST members are licensed hams. The knowledge comes in handy and there are times the license is required. Your work has made my job a little easier. Thanks.

Two days ago I got interested in amateur radio and read around online. Yesterday I found your Technician guide, looked at it briefly, and took an online test several times, scoring around 60-67%. Today I spent a few hours reading your guide and am now scoring around 77%, a passing grade. I want to get to 90%+, but thanks for creating such a great resource. David Dan,

Well, I haven't done an iPhone app (yet!), but the Tech study guide is available as an e-book on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. I have actually made a few pennies already with those versions. There will be an Extra manual, but not until next year, when they update the question pool. Thanks, Jacob.

Just passed my Tech test and wanted to move on to General this month. You should consider packaging this as a small Iphone App and make a few pennies. Good work. Is the Extra manual out yet?

Sun, 23 Jan 2011 16:00:00 +0000 http://kb6nu.com/no-nonsense-general-class-study-guide/#comment-331912 Dan, I just passed the tech and general exam elements and want to thank you for the guides. The guides gave me a pocket sized reference that traveled with me on a daily basis. This allowed me to sneak a bit of study time in here and there when my ARRL book was at home. I found them to be an excellent resource. 73! Dan,

I like free stuff, especially when given by someone concerned with creating more operators, better operators. I know that most will curl their lip at this, even though they may have started there. I predominantly operate on the 11 Meter band. I guess because that is where I started, plus I get a kick out of some of the characters on this band, plus I feel I do a small service when helping CB fellas out setting up their stations correctly, or close to it. When they find out I am a HAM also it brings questions and most go on to get their ticket also. Some have really excelled and have by-passed me going to Extra. I am slow and happy and I like it that way. Again, Thank You for your work! Mark KI4ZZZ, and yes this is the call I received from the Gov. People always ask. Thank You! for your hard work.

It helped me get my technician class license in 2007. Now that I am thinking of upgrading my license to the general class, I am once again using your book. I have also recently recommended your book to a friend of mine who wants to get his technician license. Great work! Thank you for making your technician study guide.

I think what happened is that the file accidentally got deleted when I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, the blogging software that runs this site. Thanks for pointing out the broken link. I've just fixed it. Thanks for the kind words, Mark.

I don't have any doubt I'll pass the exam at the very least..... I will also buy the ARRL manual (I should have already, but I'm short on cash so bypassed it)... but love the hobby ! Cheers, Mark (KJ4ECJ - /ALMOST AG) PS : I just checked this site to see if the Guide was still available but it keeps returning error 404 (What gives ?) Good thing I downloaded it. Hi Dan
