Craig,
I'm also in Sacramento, if you need any help or encouragement getting that license, I'll be happy to help. I can refer you to several of the local radio clubs which offer training, and American River College is just now starting a two weekend Technician license class. Contact them for upcoming dates.

Jefff..Good Luck..

Yeah..a bit different than when I took the General in 62 with the 13WPM code test. Then came the Advanced and Extra...serious written exams and 20WPM code.
