Most of the students from my General Class license course are taking the test tonight. Send them a good thought tonight. Overall, I was quite pleased with the...
The group in my January General Class license course took the test last Thursday. Well, 11 of the 26 did, anyway. Of those 11, nine passed the written test and...
Hi Dan, The low percentage turnout to take the test is disappointing. However, of those that did take the test you had a good pass rate. I have not done a...
Has anyone taken on the task of preparing material for the Extra test? I am finding out that, contrary to many thoughts and expressions, especially from the...
Thanks for your comments, Alan. We didn't charge for the course, per se, but we did charge for the book and I did collect the $14 test fee from each of the...
Hello everyone; I have listened to this group for some time now, and would like to take a moment to submit some comments, and a request for some suggestions; ...

In the "files" section of this site there is a file of "Cliff's Notes" for use in conjunction with ARRL's Now Your Talking book. Do any of you folks know of...
Newt, I was the one who wrote those notes originally. I have considered doing them for the General and Extra as well, but just haven't had the time. Perhaps...
Thanks, Joe. I appreciate your efforts on the "Cliff's Notes". I don't like the style that is prevalent these days to just teach the test, and these notes a...
