You'll really enjoy digital modes on the HF bands I think. PSK-31 is an amazing mode, and you can get a lot out of very little power & low-profile antennas. The world of SDR radios is very fun as well, and is a great companion to all the neat digital modes out there today. 73, W9PDS Good luck Jeff, I think you’ll find the exam is very easy.

I remember when I took my Tech exam I studied for about a week and got 100% on the test. The band edges are the hardest part for me, that and who has voice vs. CW when what where and how... The EE stuff is no problem. :-) Thanks for the encouragement, Erik! I remember when I took my Tech exam I studied for about a week and got 100% on the test.

Band edges and, what, a couple of propagation questions are the big differences. You'll have no difficulty. 73 -- AG4ZH You’ll be fine – back in the 70s, the technician exam *was* the general exam, and the two haven’t diverged much over the years.

I was hoping to take the test this Sunday, but I still have a lot of band edges and operating privileges to memorize. :-( Good luck with your studying as well! Thanks Nathanael!
