Like nails on a chalkboard.Hang in there Squerly...it will come.....I passed the 20 word code test...back in the day!!!and I hated the very sound !!! but stayed with it and passed....once I did I have never used cw again!!!!@ dont know why but the sound of cw would piss me off!!!! but when all else fails...the simpelest of equipment can be used to comunicate with cw!!! again ..hang in there it will come!!!
my oldest boy took the test at 11 he took the qrz practice exams he studied 2 hours a night if a question stumped him he would google it once he could pass 10 exams in a row we took him up for a test he passed the first time. the general took a little bit more studying for me but it wasn't too hard.I wouldn't know, still studying...

Squerly has it made, as there is no code requirement. Just get down the questions and take the test. He'll stand a good chance of passing Tech & General at the same session. Just takes a little time to study (easier said than done.)

OK, I told em. They were smiling as they wrote your call sign down.Squerly... you tell the VEs that if they fail ya....we will flood them with a thosand e-mails a day.....and blow the finals of all their rigs!!!!!
Go for it.....you will do fine..I agree with JEV.......take the Gen at the same time.....chances are you will pass it...but even if ya dont ...it will show ya where you are lacking and give ya a leg up on studying...OK, I told em. They were smiling as they wrote your call sign down.
Anyhow, took a couple of weeks to finally get a test set up but Tuesday is the day. I'll be pissed if I don't ace it. Been taking sample tests for the last couple of weeks and generally score 100%.
Lately I've been looking for the perfect antenna but found that it doesn't exist. So, my second best consideration looks to be the Butternut HF9V 9-band vertical. Works on 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, 6 Meters. I'll only be able to use 80, 40, 15, 10, and 6 meters but that's OK. I'll get my general soon enough and that'll open up 30, 20, 17 and 12.
Won't be long boys...
that is my limitation with hf right now is antennas about the only thing that is going to give me good performance on all bands would be a huge expensive log periodic which wont stand up to our winds so I might try a mono band wire antenna first and maybe a 10 meter vertical. I'm thinking about an hf rig for the snow cat so I can go try to work hf from some mountain tops.
