The Old-Timers felt that the ARS gave up a lot when the FCC reduced
the Morse Code Exam to a single 5WPM (at 13-15WPM) exam. The ARRL
struck back with any number of on-line courses to beef up the
knowledge base of the service. I asked this very group if anyone had
taken any of the courses... no positive responses. They already know
everything. You admit that you don't, so perhaps a course would
benefit you.

Good luck getting to Extra.

I didn't say that I missed by two questions. I said I only saw two
questions on the exam that were related to digital circuits. I was
wondering if it was worth taking the entire digital course to prepare
for two questions.

No, it's not. A night spent digesting a chapter or two on the subject
area in the ARRL Handbook should be more than enough prep on the
subject.

I'd like to get the license as soon as possible so
that I can serve as a control operator on any frequency that might be
useful for emergency services work. That is were my particular interest
lies. I will be taking those courses once I have finished the Exam
preparation. What I was hoping to find was a course that is focused on
preparing for the Extra Class Exam.
