(sorta OT) Free Ham Radio Course

It is all in succession, and my best guess is 30 days between each of the
elements -- Tech, General, and Extra.

Jim, given the three classes of license you described, how does your
course run? Does it cover the material needed for each class in
succession or does completing the course prepare you for the most advanced
class?

Can ou give us an idea as to roughly how much course and study time is
required for each class?

Well done Jim. A think lot of Aussies will also be interested to see your
site. I've posted the address up at aus.radio.amateur.misc.

Of course it's legal. It just has to be separate from any comm radio
gear installed in the plane. Of course, this is only true in an
experimental unless a 337 is completed and approved. But, since this is
a homebuilt newsgroup, no 337 required.

Right?

On a second note, handheld radio equipment solves all the above
mentioned problems...

(Besides, just think of the hewmongous flame wars we could get into by

their very own airplane {;-) )

I concur (with the pill idea). The original post said that it was
(sorta) OT. How much more of a clue does Peter need to decide he
doesn't want to read it if it isn't 100% on topic (in HIS opinion)? As
a ham, I love to have ham radio aboard the old Corben. 2M, 70cm, ATV,
etc. are great fun from 1000 AGL. As a "homebuilt" I can add ANY piece
of EQUIPMENT I want, therefore, ham radio IS on topic for ME and my
(experimental) Corben.

Bull****. It's 100% off-topic

Not that you'd care, of course. You always do what you want, and call
anyone that doesn't like it an "asshole". But why would you bother lying
about the appropriateness of your actions?


Man, take a chill pill. Off topic is not a big deal, anyway.

Well, you may have a point, most people figure I'm actually more
"Inbred", guess it's because I Top Post .

Bull****. It's 100% off-topic in rec.aviation.hombuilt AND
rec.aviation.piloting. There's no "crossbreeding", and I guarantee you that
it's not true that 25% of all pilots are amateur radio operators. Even if
it were, that doesn't make your post on-topic here.

Didn't at one time a pilot require a radio station license to legally
operate two-way radio equipment?

I don't remember what kind of license it was, but the FCC also required
licenses for R/C and CB at one tme. I always wondered how I was supposed to
give my station identification with my R/C ticket.

Just a bit strong aren't you!
I've never seen a post from you helping anyone out here.
I have seen many post from Jim helping a lot of fellow homebuilders.
And yes MAYBE his quote of 25% is off a bit, so it's really 28%!

Dunno about R/C and CB, but back when I started to fly, we were required to
obtain the FCC Radiotelephone Operators Permit. No test, but there was like a
$5 charge. Still got mine, though my 2nd Class probably covers me if I fly
outside the US.

I just took the practice test and scored 28 out of 35...
Nowhere near the 90% Jim wants but, for having never taken
any Ham courses, it isn't that bad...

My read of Pete's post was that there was some history of animosity
between himself and Mr. Weir, and the complaint about an "off-topic"
post was just an excuse to let go with a flame. Jim Weir has ripped
into me in the past for no discernable reason, so I have some sympathy.
