werthog, not to exacerbate the possiblity for abuse here but it's a a public database http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp type in some gibberish (ex: W6OBB) or something and it should pull up a bunch of near matches and you click one and that's the data that's available freely

Bloody posted:crs finished all the flashcards for technician, pretty confident i could pass it right now, gonna start on general general is like 1.25x as hard, where extra is like 5x. if you can rote learn cards for tech you can do both tech + general the same test, just additional questions in the pool, it's not anything more significantly difficult and it gets you HF e: well its two tests but you can take them back to back and its more of the same

...and a lot of them you just have to know through study, because they are sorta trick questions? example: T1A05 (A) [97.1 (e)] Which of the following is a purpose of the Amateur Radio Service rules and regulations as defined by the FCC? A. Enhancing international goodwill B. Providing inexpensive communication for local emergency organizations C. Training of operators in military radio operating procedures D. All of these choices are correct ~~ So, answer is A. Would you have got that if you didn't know beforehand?

spankmeister posted:Well yeah I know but the military thing isn't a goal, radio operations is. And emergency comms may be a thing, but it's not a goal for it to be inexpensive. the point is just study the question pools on cards here's a few more questions, and i've removed the answers in the parens until after the post, feel free to test yourself. this is from the tech pool. have a 6 question mini test. most of the questions on the test are easy as hell just saying there are gotcha ones in there or wtf? ones too. T1B06 (?) [97.301(a)] Which 23 cm frequency A. 2315 MHz B. 1296 MHz C. 3390 MHz D. 146.52 MHz ~~ T1C01 (?) [97.3(a)(11)(iii)] Which type of call sign has a single letter in both its prefix and suffix? A. Vanity B. Sequential C. Special event D. In-memoriam ~~ T1F12 (?) [97.5(b)(2)] How many persons are required to be members of a club for a club station license to be issued by the FCC? A. At least 5 B. At least 4 C. A trustee and 2 officers D. At least 2 ~~ T5C04 (?) What is the basic unit of inductance? A. The coulomb B. The farad C. The henry D. The ohm ~~ T6B11 (?) What at are the three electrodes of a field effect transistor? A. Emitter, base, and collector B. Source, gate, and drain C. Cathode, grid, and plate D. Cathode, gate, and anode ~~ T6D08 (?) Which of the following is used together with an inductor to make a tuned circuit? A. Resistor B. Zener diode C. Potentiometer D. Capacitor ~~ Answers: BCBCBD I'm sure a lot of you would ace that but just saying, if you don't ace that, go thru the question pools and just read thru them.
