Exam Tomorrow!

[KX4KDH]

Hey, everyone.... It is funny seeing my initial posts about ham radio, and what it takes to get in.. I was super pessemistic for sure!

Anyway, I have studied the ARRL book from cover to cover, and been through dozens of practice tests on the CD-ROM that came with the book.

The exam is at 0900 tomorrow, and I feel confident I can pass it!

Yep, when I went years ago some 11 YO girl left 15 minutes before I did & passed it with flying colors

If you understand what you have read and have memorized what your privileges as a tech would be you should have no problems passing. Just go through it once more after finishing and double check your answers. Just try to relax while taking the test and take your time

Relax and take your time and you'll do just fine.

After you pass the Tech exam, take the General test. It doesn't cost any more and you'll probably pass that as well. You have nothing to lose, even if you don't pass you'll get an idea of what you need to study up on.

I hope to meet you on the bands soon.

You can bet I am going to!

 

[RadioDaze]

Let me be the second person to congratulate you. Congrats!

 

[RadioDaze]

What the heck... let me be the third person to congratulate you as well. Congrats!

 

[KE4ZNR]

Congrats Brother! Can't wait for you to get your call!
Knew you could do it. Don't worry about the General too much.
You accomplished the big 1st step with passing the tech.
General can be passed another day.
Rock on!

Congrats & welcome to ham! I got my Tech in April last year, and General in October. Gonna go for Extra this year.

 

[canav844]

Congratulations! Post up when you get your call! give yourself a break from studying, and get on the air and enjoy it; then pickup studying for the general, you're already close to the pass point.

 

[N4JKD]

Yeah, please do let us know! You will probably get down to the end of the KJ4 call prefix.

 

[KX4KDH]

Thanks, everyone..... And yes, I am sure I will get one of the last few KJ4 callsigns... I just hope it has a nice ring to it! If not, I will apply for a vanity.

 

[N4JKD]

That or go for your general & extra and get an Extra call. Which is right now in the AK4 prefix

Or that, too.... I just looked up in the database... The last KJ4 call is KJ4ZVW. It's definitely getting close! I am assuming the next step is KK4xxx.
