A hearty welcome, Andy
Since you are studying for your Tech license I suggest you do online practice exams. Two excellent web sites are:
http://www.hamstudy.org and
http://www.aa9pw.com. When you get ready to take your test you can find exam sites by going to
www.arrl.org and clicking on "exams" and search your state.
I am a volunteer examiner in the NW Atlanta area so I am too far from you. Good luck and get your ticket soon.
