There are a lot of hams on this forum and myself and Don Rotolo I am sure will help you as well as about 100 other hams here.

yes....I have heard that 9 year old's can pass this test as people in their 80's so I guess I just have to take the course and study, I want to do it though not just for the ham radio aspect of it but to brush up on skills in electronics and math that I have totally let slip over the 12-15 year's I've worked in news, with all those Motorola P25 encrypted and MotoTRBO systems coming online here in Ontario (end of scanning/news gathering), as well as the other troubles in the broadcasting business I have to seriously start thinking and planning for plan B, I'd love to stay with something that involves radio, electronics and technology but it's hard to get in anywhere these days.
If a plan B has to happen I want my next career to be something that I actually really enjoy doing and then it doesn't seem like work.
