So ... as the Standard course progresses, we're starting to get into the interesting stuff ... transistors, FETs, etc.

The Regs exam is imminent, hopefully all the in-class mock-exams are giving people a feel for what the real thing will be like...

As has been said before in this thread, the key things to remember when studying for a Standard licence is to make sure you complete the homework exercises each week (trying to do so without reference to the manual is generally better, see how much you can do without assistance), and taking an hour or two each week to go back through previous sections and brush up on some of the concepts...

Once Regs is out the way, it'll be full steam ahead into the juicy stuff of the radio and electronics theory!

Looks like I'll be there doing the prac exam at the same time

Good luck to all the future standard calls doing their regs exam tomorrow. May the electromagnetic force be with you.

That comment actually really hit the spot for me, Thankyou Rob

Thanks Rob - and good luck with your practical too

Yep good luck to the exam candidates!

Congrats to ALL on the standard course for passing the regs, esp Meg and slipknot. Also congrats to me for knowing what a folded dipole looks like.

why? The only thing I can fault you on is not letting the repeater time out and a gap before talking .
meg did you make a big scene of doug being old and all that stuff what with it being his birthday today like you agreed too earlier today via PM
Congrats to all. So Rob does this mean we're back to the waiting game for your callsign to change? or is there some other thing you have to prove first?

Well done on the score!
Thats the easy exam out the way, a couple of hours study each week will see a similar result in the theory exam.

yeah and the gaps are your friend slipknot
