Its a good thing too, if we could have as many people interested in Amateur radio as there are on the cb channels, there will always be people on air most of the time, even at 3 am.
Goodluck to everyone in my class, ofcourse Meg will have a better chance of passing then me
There is only one way of passing, Study Study Study, of course, do heaps of practise exams, in fact theres not too many of those on the net these days but they help.

Re: Standard Licence
Yep, I agree with you there - make sure you have a good overall knowledge of the syllabus - go through the manual from cover to cover a couple of times. Make sure you know each formula, what it's for and how to transpose it to a form that's more useful.slipknot wrote:There is only one way of passing, Study Study Study, of course, do heaps of practise exams, in fact theres not too many of those on the net these days but they help.
And of course there's been plenty of practice exams in class - I think about four or five over the last few weeks. So they should give people a feel for what to expect on Tuesday night

Re: Standard Licence
well, cover to cover a few times hmmmm, mayby with the foundation manual but a standard although i think it sounds like a good idea. but as Darrel said in the movie "the castle" before he went back into the court room "im pretty confident" and then the judge says "i find in favour of the appelant"

Good news is, all but one of the Standard class are upgrades from Foundation - which is encouraging, seeing people start at the Foundation level and then want to upgrade. A few have indicated they want to keep going and do the Advanced course as well

Good luck for tonight Meg, slipknot, Wayne, Joanne, Michelle?, Elvis, that CB guy and the others I can't remember.
It's just an exam. If you don't succeed, just do it again later!

Re: Standard Licence
I think i was 17 when i got my novice lic, i wish i had gone for it earlier but that was the first year they tried the classes and it worked really well. appart from hot nights and no air con makes it hard to stay focused.slipknot wrote:Zebedee wrote:Hehe - the more the merrier you reckon?VK6 NDT wrote:and with all these new comer's the air waves will be packed, and HF is only going to get better
