We completed our second attempt at the Technician License Class. The format we are using is two all day Saturday sessions, supplemented by self-study using the Gordon West book. We had 14 people take the Technician exam (Element 2), with 13 passing (93% pass rate). We had 4 Boy Scouts in the group and they all passed. (Their troop is getting quite a few Scouts with licenses and they are having a blast with it on camp outs.)
The 2-day formula seems to be working, so we’ll do it again in the fall. Summer seems like a good time to lay low and we will need to rework the material due to the new question pool for the Tech exam. At first glance, it looks like the new question pool is a little more difficult as it includes more advanced technical topics.
The next Technician Class will be held in the fall, tentatively scheduled for October 16 and 23.
