License Study Aids
Bill Cotter, N4LG, has re-compiled the current FCC question pools with the wrong answers removed. His rationale for doing so is that
no educational body teaches wrong answers along with the correct ones. Of course, while these may help you to pass the initial exam, it is
vital that you also study and understand the underlying principles and concepts.
Parks On The Air
The Parks On The Air (POTA) program is gaining more and more popularity. Several local Hams have been "activating" parks and many more are
