Thanks! I'm very excited I have a feeling my Dad will know my call before I do - when I called to tell him I passed (he's been encouraging me to get my license since I was 10 and after my Mom took the test this summer and passed, I decided it was time to do it) he was already talking about checking for it on Monday!

Best place is to look here -- License Search - Advanced License Search, which is the FCC website. If you look during the day -- look often, but most of the time they will "updated" by 5:00 PM (EST). A few months ago my father got his ticket, and it was not listed when he looked it up, but when I did it had been posted.

Thanks! I actually beat my Dad to seeing the posting LOL. I'm hoping to be calling CQ right after the holidays!

The other kicker is how to get between amps, resistance, volts, and watts... If you can remember how to find them in one direction, the other direction is literally the exact opposite:

resistance X amps = volts (volts / amps = resistance and volts / resistance = amps)
amps X volts = watts (watts / volts = amps and watts / amps = volts)



I hope this helps!

Ohms law is the triangle
.E
I|R

I=E/R
R=E/I
E=I*R

E = Voltage
I = Current (Amperage)
R = Resistance (Ohms)
