11 meter Scotland/England

[SuperDave]

First over the seas contact for me this morning in the mobile! Scotland was rolling in left and right on 38LSB. I was able to make two confirmed contacts with Scotland and 1 to England. I was on my way to work and I didn't want to leave the truck! Before I got out of the truck there were two other stations calling my numbers, but with all the other DX coming in I couldn't get their numbers.

Needless to say it was a very successful 20 minute drive to work! :w00t:

I'm working on it!!! I'm studying for my Tech ticket and there is a test on Novemeber 11 at 6pm.

So far I've just been reading the test pool, do you have any other suggestions?

Take the practice tests at QRZ.com. That is were I studied for my General. Study for the General as well because once you get there everything opens up.

even after you get your ham ticket, you may find that contacting Scotland on 20 or 40 meters is not as much fun as making the contact on 11 meters.
much more of a rare contact on 11.

Great contacts. I have done it numerous times from Arkansas, but the fun never grows stale, esp from a mobile.

take the eham test over and over....tech and general....start with tech random questions until your passing tests at 95% or better....then do the general the same way. take the tech and once passed.... take the general....you might spend a few passes on the extra as well. if you pass the general take the extra. many questions are duplicated on various tests. both tech and general are not hard you just need to be able to pass them on eham or ?? where ever you study. I took several study test on several webpages....get the passing grades on a couple web tests on tech test, then do the same on others.... go pass both and never look back.

Memorize, memorize and then more memorize. Yea, that's how you get a ticket.
