I just talked to them... apparently I misunderstood... the class is EVERY Saturday, not "pick one" like I had thought.

So are you and Rick studied up and going to take the test??

When you take the test you will kick yourself for not doing it sooner. It is easier than most people think. The Tech test that is. General is a bit more complicated. The Tech test is mostly procedural and the General is more scientific.

Agree 100% Especially since they dropped the MORSE Code requirement.

We will be taking the test on Feb. 27, at the end of the classes. They said that only one person has failed the test ever in their program, and he was 9. Hopefully I don't become a statistic :D ... then there were two... he was 9, and a girl :P

Sarah,

Are they offering a General Class class? I need to upgrade. Especially since you told me the test will be getting tougher in June.

They didn't say, but I doubt it. Rick is interested in the General too. Maybe we can have our own little study session. :)
