This is an amazing tool. I took the Technician a couple of years ago and struggled. I am taking the General 4/21 and I am already scoring around 85% on all my practice sessions. Excellent site.

This site is a gold mine. There is no other place i have found that has so much information in one spot and is so easy to use. And it's a freebie! NC4FB has done the work on his end – it's all up to you now!
I was able to get the GMDSS Operator/Maintainer ticket the first go around no sweat, no stress, no worries with scores in the mid 90's on both Elements 7 and 9. I have held a First Phone since 1978, a Second Telegraph since 1981 both RADAR endorsed, and an Extra since 1980. i wish the 6 month endorsement was as easy!
This site rocks!
Thanks again and best 73!

Great site! This system – taking the sample tests and concentrating upon the ones missed works. i was able to get the GMDSS Operator/Maintainer ticket the first go around with scores on Elements 7 and 9 in the mid 90's. Follow the instructions and be disciplined about it, and it wil be yours!

Just wanted to let you know that your site made it very easy for me to get my Extra… Two days ago I decided to go after my Amateur Extra ticket and 48 hours later – I have it — test took 15 minutes to take and i only missed 6 questions (scored an 88) …. probably could have scored better if i had gone back to check the answers but by the time i had hit question 50 I knew that I had passed … Your flashcards was the key. I basically went over each section E0, E1…E9 over and over and over and just studied the answers .. then I took the sample test for each segment a few times … then had the software only quiz me on the questions that I missed .. did that for each of the 10 segments individually and then took numerous full tests over and over… finally this morning (48 hours later) went and took the actual test … I had visited other so-called "study" sites but YOURS was the one that immediately was recognizable as being the right format for me…
cheers
Sam

My license expired about 15 years ago and I've decided to get on the air again. I ran across your website and I think it is fantastic! Very well done. Thanks for doing this. It certainly saves me a lot of money as i don't have to buy all the books to study the questions and theory.
Thanks again

I just discovered your website. It is fantastic. Thank you for your labors. I plan to use it to study and upgrade to Extra. I, too, was in the Navy (early 70's). I served on the USS Ticonderoga (CVS-14), North Island, CA, as an EW (also in the OE department). When the Tico was decomissioned, I transferred to Greece to the USS Sampson (DDG-10). I retired from the GA Air National Guard in 1996. 73, Jose

I am in the process of downloading your flashcards for the extra class license. I have the advance class and have had for many years..Set my radio up after having it in storage for a few years and it renewed my interest in ham radio..The only thing is I am 76 years old and I don't know if I can remember enough to pass the test..Hopefully the flashcards will do the trick..Could have passed the test when I got my advanced class but the code just was too much.. I'll let you know how it works out
