I used this www.hamstudy.org to study and it was awesome. For the Technician license I went thru every question (hide the distractors, button on upper right). I then went thru the flash cards completely. I then took a couple of different practice tests spaced out here and there. It's only 35 questions and pretty darn easy. I passed that and they asked me if I wanted to take the General test for free. I did...didn't pass. Oh well. But I found the testing location on www.arrl.org site. Pretty easy. Good luck!

Thanks! You know, I spend a great deal of time on a sailboat and we had sideband radio but it was removed simply because the unit was massive. I sort of regret doing that because its a great back up to when the SatPhone cant catch a signal. I think this would be a nice back up to have for both my overland trips as well as oversea trips here in Maine and beyond.

I was expecting at least a week, but when I asked one of the testers what timeframe I should expect he said "Tomorrow. Our club has our process nearly perfected"

No kidding. I was surprised it was already in the DB when I woke up. Less than 12 hours
