[bars] Sorry I could not participate in meeting

[Kayla Creamer]

Steve,

My dad initially urged me to get my license. I tried many years ago, when code was still a required portion of the exam. He signed me up for Ham Test Online and it made it super easy. If I would have had to sit down and absorb the info from a book, I can pretty much guarantee you that I probably wouldn’t have done it. I’m far too busy with work and other life happenings that I’m lucky if I can find time to read a book for pleasure.  I got my tech, general, and extra within 3 months, all studying with a Ham Test Online and recommend it to everyone who is looking to get their license or upgrade. They do practice quizzes on the material at the end of each section, which helps drill in the material. They bring you back to material that you’re having trouble with. There are also practice exams at the end of all of the material that you can take as many times as necessary. Again, they bring you back to the subjects you’re not doing as well with, so it drills in the concepts and material. I only wish I had gotten my license sooner so I could have talked to my grandfather while he was still licensed (that’s where the 2 call comes from, for those who don’t know).
