I just got my Technician license with a three-step process:
1) Use Kindle Unlimited and read the technician 2018-2022 Technician study guide by Craig "Buck" K4IA
2) Use the online practice test at
HamExam.org: Free Amateur Radio Practice Tests with Flash Cards (I registered for the site, allowing them to give me a variable selection of questions from the question pool,
and with a comprehensive grading of my attempts (overall grade, and breakdown by element/subelement/question.
3) Use the ARRL's "find a license exam in your area" at
Find an Amateur Radio License Exam in Your Area to take the test.
Feedback on above:
I like the style of Buck K4IA's books - present only the CORRECT answers - sometimes in story form, sometimes in formula, sometimes with a memory tip.
I got the Technician e-book for free (Kindle Unlimited) on Oct 21 this year - read it, used the hamexam.org site to take 10 practice exams (one per day) and passed each one,
sat for exam on Sunday November 3 in Natick, and passed the exam. Received email notification of my technician-class license on Nov 7.
After holiday, gonna repeat the process for the test for General. Once that is done, I'll start considering what comes next - only equipment right now is a 5W h/t.
Because why limit myself on only ONE way to spend lots of money (firearms, training, etc) when I can add antenna(s) + base stations + who-knows-what-else??
