Ham Radio


I got my ham radio license last Wednesday. They have the test once a month at the BYU Law Library. The test is very east, there were two 11 year old boys there and they passed. There are 500 questions that they pick 35 from. To study for it you just need to read over the 500 questions and then on the test they are exactly the same.

We have 2 handheld radios and Brian's car one. We talk with the BYU ham radio club every Thursday night at 9pm and Brian is the Net Manager which means he is the ruler of the radio for an hour and tells people when they can talk. So it is pretty fun to be able to talk on the radio and it is good for emergencies or even if we go hiking and get lost.
