  • Canadian amateurs

    From Grud@VERT/PHASED to All on Fri Jan 23 22:15:32 2015
    Any amateurs in Canada? Looking to write the Basic test soon and hopefully get honours as well. What did you do to pass, self-study, take a course, etc? Enquiring minds want to know.

    I'm not in Canada, but I'm a Canadian amateur (VE5BSD).

    I did self-study, but have a long history of electronics tinkering. Without that, I would likely reccomend a course.

    I have an electronics background (automotive), but I am taking a course in April at a local club. There are too many distractions at home to get by with studying the question pool. Besides, I would like to actually understand all the concepts and not just pass the test.

    Cheers
