What studying did you do beforehand. I followed Essex ham and their content covers everything likely to be in the exam

If it's like a driving test, luck is a big factor. So just keep taking the test until you pass. With multiple choice they give trick questions and knowing the wanted answer comes from practice. I used to be a teacher and all the kids knew this.

yes.

What does that mean?​@@JohnnyDanger36963

shut up.

The short answer is no.

Yes they should wrong answer

generally no.

I partly agree with you, but it's bringing new people in. Very few people build anything, not even simple stuff like SWR meters. I have great respect for those amateurs who built the G2DAF rx and tx. I did the old C&G exam in 1974 where answers had to be written, not answers given in multiple choice like now. Last year I found the paper I did by going online. How did I pass? I love building stuff since before being licenced making 3, 4 and 5 valve receivers and started aged 14 with a H.A.C. one valve kit that got me interested. My best project has been my 4 Watt ssb/cw tcvr now adding 60m so putting it into a larger cabinet and proper h.f. 6 Watt mosfet's for better efficiency at the higher frequencies. I'll run them at 5 Watts. Maybe try adding 70 MHz and possibly 144 MHz. 472 kHz and 136 kHz, who knows? But everything QRP. Lots of stuff made here, resistive type SWR meter, one valve xtal c.w. tx on 7.030 and 5.262 MHz and power supply, 1944 Wireless 19 Set got working, Racal RA17L to repair. I built a Pixie on 5.262 MHz, and a T.W. TopBander repaired. H.f. dipoles and inverted vee and 2 element collinear all h/b. Years ago I made a frequency counter from a kit using Ferranti i.c.'s. I did buy an FT817ND for portable as it's small to get on a motorbike. I remember showing a Pye Bantam which I had converted to 4m to amateurs in the pub and had to repair it first. One amateur who I know had passed the exam with distinction said he wouldn't know where to start. Who on paper would an electronics employer take on? Learning parrot fashion to memory doesn't mean people understand a subject. 73, Bill, G4GHB.

Can you study online with Essex ham using cellphone

@@ciaranmcmanus3840 Well you certainly can't take the exam on a cell phone and I would suggest that although the internet is accessable via a cell phone you really need the screen area to view the content properly. So I would say, try and borrow a laptop running windows operating system (Or Mac is also supported). If you can't borrow one then maybe your local Amateur Radio Club or even the local Libry can help.

That will be good, at present I am only on VHF and UHF but will be on HF in the near future, possibly with a Xieug G90 or Xieug X6100

Webex runs on Linux using java (or it used to do). The other software will need windows. I would not risk the exam using WINE. Running Windows on a VM should be fine.

I too have not been making videos much, rather just getting on with stuff, though I have a few video ideas. I have strayed a little onto radio and gardening now that the shed has a new roof. This coming year I will be growing a lot more I hope. I have already planted garlic and as some of my onions started sprouting, I put a few in a sheltered spot and they are doing well. We have had snow but back to rain and more rain now, the kale sweetens up after a spell of cold weather, we grow it all through the year, our cold is not so severe as yours, just too much wet. A few more days and the sun will begin to return but still plenty of cold weather, not to look forward too. I got a few daylight LED lights so I will be trying to bring some veg on early in the shed as an experiment. Nice to hear from you and wishing you all the best for the new year

It will be when ever I get a wood stove in ☺☺

@@GrasshopperOutdoors I'm glad you're ok. And I know the feeling about not always wanting to be online.
