Ham Radio Exams at DEF CON 24 brought to you by dc408

botornot,

Congrats on passing your Technician!

You may find the attached link interesting. You should explore how the various frequencies are partitioned up and what's used for what; I think the FCC also has a nice poster you can get as a PDF. Maybe not particularly fun/cool, but I think newer people will find it very informative.

Copy/pasting links from web clients or Word/LibreOfficeWrite/* can result in incorrect link/anchors on the forums. I examined the original content of your post, and found this in what you probably wanted as a link:

http://reboot.fcc.gov/spectrumdashbo...hSpectrum.seam


When posting a link, just paste the full URL in directly, not links to URL, and the actual URL should work for other users. Also, avoid using URL shorteners, as they can hide the actual destination, risk drive-by download with less reputable URL shorteners, and suffer loss of resolution when the shortened link expires, and/or is reused for a different URL.

HTH,
-Cot

My call sign showed up this morning. I passed Tech and General on separate days and it's only showing as a Tech at the moment. I suspect the General will show up later. If you've been waiting, go check again.

My callsign just showed up this morning, too. Time to start transmitting...

Anyone else still waiting? I still haven't received my technician and FortyTwoWho quoted 'middle of the week' on twitter.
