Hi
    Back when I was taking my ham tests people told me to go through handy
hams.  How ever they didn't have the course materials I needed at the time.
So My family bought the materials through a place in California that had
recorded materials.  It must have worked because I made my first ham
transmition as a ham July 3 1989 and in December of 1989 I was an extra.  I
didn't think about handy hams again until I ran in to them on the internet
in the last year or so.
    I would be interested to hear more about them!
                    God bless,
                    Mark WZ0K
God loves you!
