Took the exam several years ago, wish I could remember the questions. I have a couple of books if you need them. Good luck!

I would Love to Ty. I just really wonder how involved it is to learn it. I think having a Ham is a great idea for trail. It will be a great addition to the Fema Certs that Dori and I are talking about getting in the future.

Don't you have to learn Morse Code too? What all is involved, I doubt I could learn it before the first of the year. Didn't you already take the test Ty?

It's just a 300 question pool ya gotta memorize. Only the answers are shown so if ya read through it a couple times, you should be able to pass. i failed the first time by 5 or 6 questions. That was with one quick read of the pool of questions. You dont need to learn morse code for the first tech license
