The AMSAT net is really interesting, too.

Let me tell you, I just upgraded to General, and am now studying
for my Extra ticket, and I can't believe I put this off for so long.

Getting your Tech should take about two weeks of studying, and
so many of the ham clubs in the Twin Cities have classes. I'd definitely
encourage you to go for it!

I've listened in to the AMSAT net too, some good stuff. I've been studying a
bit though I think my "Now Your Talking" book is already out of date in
regards to the test pool. I can usually get about 70% in the practice tests
without too much trouble. Should I take the test now or wait till the AARL
revamps the licensing?
