Mark, if you read over the questions three or 4 times over 2-3 weeks, you'll probably pass. 9 year old or 88 year old, they have to study too. The basic electronics would be easy for an engineer, but the rules and procedures would not, so that degree won't help.

Thanks, I guess I am too impatient in wanting to learn this and pass in one day then, the rules and regs would be the easier part for me as I seem to remember that stuff but listing to this retired professor on the radio on the scanner last weekend although he was coaching someone for the advance licence just listening to all those formulas and PI calculations made me A: turn off all my other radios and listen intently and B: wish I was 18 years old again and in electronics engineering class

Like you say 2-3 weeks, that's realistically what I'll need and keep in mind I'm working in news and severe weather all day so I don't have as much reading time as I'd like.

I want to do it though for sure.
