Thanks for speaking out on https://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com/ Sid, looking
at their approach online, maybe I'll find the time to upgrade to Advanced.

Let me suggest that you use ham test online:
https://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com/

I used it several years ago, it seems to be an active web page today.

The books put me to sleep, https://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com/ was a big
help.

After the Technician test, I used hamtestonline for the general and extra.
