      No, problem! I'll be watching your General class next. I'm in the learning mode, like Johnny 5 (short circuit) I need input! So I'm sure I'll be watching several other classes. I really want to learn how to put one up in backwoods.

    I’m test prepping for next week.. Ran through the entire 4 hours last night with you guys, can’t thank you enough for your time! That was work for me and a lot more work for you.
    It is appreciated.
    You were also very accurate with the practice test percentage 😂 30% in the first practice test little more on the second 👍
    Edit- this was the 1st time I’ve spent “studying” this.
    I feel pretty good about it, the only things I missed were things not covered here and they were very specific questions about equipment. One that got me was the cable interference question, answer check connections to make sure they’re tight. Another was referring to what specific cable should be used for a specific application.
    This is a good solid base knowledge, thanks agains guys!

    I'm not a licensed ham (yet) but looking at the 21:00 mark, all of the other study guides that I've read (including the Gordon West book - Page 39) state the T1C05 question as being that KF1XXX is an example of a VALID call sign vice a VANITY call sign. Again, I'm just a regular Joe studying for the test but is this question stated correctly? Thanks...

      If the whole order of civilization collapses, no one will likely be around to check whether you have your aviation license from the FAA either, but you won't have developed the necessary skills without the license before that.

      Do you know how many NEW people have obtained their license just because of this video and this series? It sounds like you didn't like it, and ok fine - but to say it is a waste for anyone new proves that you haven't actually looked at the video comments. Find another way to learn, there are many. Or you can go troll elsewhere, if you aren't actually interested in learning.
