Ham, Amateure Lic.

I ment my comments to be general to what was being asked .... as for 2 meters I have worked stations 1200 miles away ond on 6 meters 3,000 miles away and 300 miles on 440 mhz.

Long range DX bands ar 80-10 meters ( 3.5 - 29 mhz ) is good for DX almost all the time and 6 meters ( 50 mhz ) can and does produce many DX contacts but not all the time.

2 Meters again can produce long range contacts but is used for local contacts and a a very good band for nets and repeaters. 440 Mhz and above are local bands.

Just some of the 2 meter cards I have from openings.

 

What is the link to the test questions on the aarl website?

So, basically, if you memorize all the answers to these questions, then you can pass this ham test?

 

There is 3 classes of Amateur Radio Operator (Ham) License. Technician (c), General (b), & Extra (A). (Like Drivers license C, B, & A being the top). But with Ham you must Pass the Tech before you can get a General. And you must pass the Tech, & General before you can get an Extra class license. Each license class lets you operate more bands. Tech having the least. It's the easiest to pass it has 35 questions. The record youngest was 4 years old. Many are younger than 10. The General test is a little bit harder it also has 35 questions. This license will let you talk to anywhere in the world on 90% of the Ham bands. Now for the Extra license which is the hardest test and has 50 questions. With it you can talk on All of All the Ham bands. Which include the the real Big Boy DX Bands. All Ham license are good for 10 years. And at this time are free to renew. You can take 1, 2, or all 3 at the same time. For the same fee. Most charge $15 some charge less. One club in Maryland it's FREE!

Yes, Just like getting your CDL's

You must do the Test for Technician it's about 99 pages for it. But if you do it my way you will pass after about page 30. Before starting the test click wait for correct. This way it won't change until you get it right. As soon as the test is finished take that page again. About 3-4 times a day you should be able to get in the high 80's or more. Do the same for every page. After you get to page 30 you will know enough to pass. If want you can also study for General.
I want you to know that as of this July. There will be a NEW Technician test. So don't go after July 1 without knowing the NEW test!
