If you want to get in a rush and have 15 bucks to spare you can take it at Columbia on May 19th. http://www.arrl.org/exam_sessions/new-york-ny-10027-6944-63 > On May 12, 2014, at 7:36 PM, "Robert O'Connor" > wrote: > > > http://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com/index.html > > It's worth every penny in my opinion! > > --rob > Sent via my Nexus 7 (excuse any typos) > >> On May 12, 2014 7:30 PM, "Chad McHenry" wrote: >> Back on topic, Thanks Rob - I've been looking over the materials referenced >> and deciding how to study.

Re: [hmradio] Greetings! Will any HAMs be at HM tomorrow?
Back on topic, Thanks Rob - I've been looking over the materials referenced and deciding how to study. I've already used the practice exam sites to see where I'm at. If another test will be offered at HM late June, that would be great, and, providing there's no conflict of interest between helping to get it together ant take the exam, I'm happy to help in any way I can. Looking forward to meeting folks tomorrow.

Re: [hmradio] Greetings! Will any HAMs be at HM tomorrow?
In other ham-related news, Max and I helped out with our first ARES event on Saturday, organised by the ever helpful Josh (K2FTC) as race marshals for the NAMI walk downtown. I recommend this sort of thing to any hams, new or latent, and coincidentally there are several upcoming events that could use volunteers for this type of thing. It was fun, and we learned quite a bit. Other than that we should pack sunscreen, we also learned that it was tough for everyone on the circuit to hit a single local repeater at the same time. We ended up using the backup simplex frequency, but that might not work for a larger route, as the walk was only 5K across the Brooklyn Bridge and back. Hack Manhattan could definitely help technically by building a mobile repeater tailored for the 'concrete canyons', which would also be useful in case of emergencies downtown.
