guess there isn’t much sense in Extra right at the moment … cause I wont be able to take it before May 1 … so I should just wait a little while then

I think the new question pool takes effect on July 1st, so if you’re planning on taking your test after that, definitely wait, but If you want to take the test BEFORE July, you might want to use the current lessons.

I have yet to make any contacts other than thru DMR … I have something wrong with my antenna configurations …

What type of antenna are you using?

just thought I would close out the not made any contacts portion.
I have since May 1, 2024 gotten my DX Commander Classic up along with an Alpha Antenna HOA buster antenna… as of 02/19/2025 … I have made 6538 contacts on either FT8/Ft4
Now as soon as I get my CW down better I will try to catch the FT8/FT4 number with CW

@W5RTM That’s AWESOME!
I used HamRadioPrep and got all 3 test levels back in April (first 2 in early April, Extra in late). I can’t recommend them enough. Knock them all out while the material is fresh and enjoy your privileges to the fullest!
