Thanks, Albert. When I worked with HandiHams a few years ago, there was a $10 per year membership fee and you had an account that enabled you to access all information. They also would help you come up with equipment once you got your license, if you couldn't afterford to buy your own.
I'm hoping to have more information later this week and will pass it aofg as soon as I get it. Maybe if some of us on this list could work the program together, we might make better progress.

Good morning Keith Annemarie and Harry,
I'm sorry that this message of thanks too all of you regarding our ham situation problem didn't get too all of you sooner, But I did want too express my thanks too the three of you for trying too provide advice and suggestions . Just for the hell of it, This morning I went online too the Handy ham web page to the place where your supposed too be able too contact them, and there is a log in button for your email address and password, but I think that you have too establish one before you can contact them. Does one have too have an account in order too get information? I wasn't able too find out any information about this, so that's why I'm asking. Right now, the material that I'm studying from is about two or three years out of date for the Technician license. The local ham radio club in my area, is mostly consists of sighted members who don't really -----Original Message----- seem all that responsive in trying too help the
two of us who are blind.

Hello Albert and others who are interested in this topic. I talked with someone who used to be a key member of the HandiHams program, as I, too, want to study for my technician license. I have heard that pat Tice has retired and that the program is in a state of uncertainty right now.
If anyone has other ideas on how one can successfully study for the license, I'm open to suggestions. Also, I will contact my friend who had some involvement in HandiHams and see if there have been any recent developments in the program.

Good morning Harry, I'm currently in the process of trying too study for
my Technician license too become a ham Radio operator. I'm trying too find out, if there are any updated MP3 files that I can download from their web site, but when I go too the handi hams web page, I keep getting a message that says something about a certificate not being up too date. I even tried writing too the ARRl's web page, too see if I could email A Guy
named Pat Tice who did something like this some years ago, And they never
wrote or responded too my email. If you'd like, You can get in touch with me by phone at 212 (366-6748)

Hi all,
If any of you on the list are ham operators, and you would like to read the handiham weekly eletter, there is an archive page that starts with 2008, and goes through 2016. Each link is a different month.
Just use your down arrow key to get to know the page, from the top of the page.
I needed to find this page, because some of the eletters I saved, word pad could not read, for whatever reason. Thankfully, I found this page on freelists. the link for the page is http://www.freelists.org/archive/handiham-world
