    Zero to General in 30 days?

    Finished up part 2 of the tech video, was brutal, spent a ton of time on repeaters. I think they could have condensed that section. Another practice exam, 29/35. I’m going to try the Hamstudy.org tests tomorrow for a change of pace.

    Zero to General in 30 days?

    Started this video, it’s a continuation of the other. The audio is pretty bad but the info is there. Also knocked out another practice tech exam, got 30 of 35. I’ll keep doing the tech stuff until I have it cold before moving on to general. Thanks for the additional links you all have been...

    Zero to General in 30 days?

    Thanks for the advice. Currently I’m about 1.5 hours into this video. So far it’s mostly regulatory stuff very cut and dry but from my understanding, a fair amount of technician exam question come from here. Took a practice test here for the tech exam. Would have squeaked by with 26/35...

    any airgun fans here ?

    I have a ruger air hawk which is a rws 34 clone. I hate it. It’s loud and it feels like it’s going to explode every time I pull the trigger. It is powerful though. On the other hand I find the ruger American rim fire with 22 shorts a better option in every regard. I can open the window in...

    President McKinley plus KL-60

    Thanks for the replies. Seems like I’m either trading or selling the KL60. I think I may see what kind of performance I can get out of it and set it up in a temporary fashion. Once I get the kL 203 I make the mod something more permanent.

    Hey there, Just getting back to the CB world after about a 10 year hiatus. Current rig is a cobra 29 tuned by DTB in Carlisle, PA and a Wilson 1k mag mount. The radio talks and listens I have no complaints. However I want side band capability, and after some research I’ve decided on a...
