Thanks Albert. I used the Handiham online Extra Course and the Extra 
study guide from AD7fo. I started reading the ARRL Extra Class License 
Manual but I found it went into a lot of detail and made it more 
difficult to learn the material. I'll probably read it now that I've 
passed the test. I also took lots of practice exams on the AA9PW website.
