The Tech license question pool will change July 1, 2014. Find a local club and see if anyone has a current license manual that you can borrow or purchase from them. I assist a certified ARRL license instructor and we do 3 or 4 classes a year, a couple Tech classes a General class or two and a class for Amateur Extra. Sessions are usually 3 consecutive Saturdays except for the Extra class which may be as long as 8 weeks. You might also check the ARRL web site for any classes in your area. Some clubs have HAM CRAMS which are usually one session. I am also a VE and find that a manual is essential to learn properly. People in the classes that do not have a manual to study in their spare time usually do not pass the exam. Also, there are a number of online web sites that do practice exams which are actual exam questions. We find that the http://aa9pw.com web site is one of the best. Every time you take a test it will be different and it also changes the order of the answers which it helps to get you to understand the questions.

Welcome to the hobby, you can get enjoyment from the many aspects of the hobby and spend as little or as much of your money that you want and get the desired result.
