Re: Hate the word HAM

M0XDF
If your serious (I'm not familiar with FCC exams) - why?
What good does filling your head with bits of info that you don't need to
remember do - and what does it prove?

Like my Collage electronics exams back in the 70's - why do I need to
remember all these complex formulas (hfE calc etc) ? I'll just look them up
in a book if I need them!

Basic stuff like ohms law and freq calcs for Ham radio I understand and
know, but what good is knowing all the stuff on your credit Card (it just
gets swiped) and how does that help with Radio?
