Not worthy to be an Extra?

I don't recommend attempting the extra class exam totally unprepared. However, if anyone asks, it can be passed without studying. Of course - if you already know enough to pass it. I studied for about a week for the test. My issue was that although I was experienced in electronic matters, my experience was almost entirely on the computing end, in fact, it was one of the reasons I got into Ham Radio - I wanted to understand RF. By the time I was ready for the Extra, I could have barely passed without studying. I wanted to ace it though. I think what happens in the testing discussions is some of the people who have passed end up thinking that everyone needs to know what they dolready do. It's like my wife thinks that all hams do all the stuff I do and know, so she doesn't want to test even at Tech level. But th eguys I talk to who talk about "They might as well give the licenses away" might be guilty of it in the other direction. |
