I should have my license this week. Thanks to Sequoia for the tip on how to study. I saw a lot of other people using 2m ham radios. Is there a place where all the Call Signs are listed?

How did you study?
I downloaded an app with a bunch of test questions, but it doesn't explain anything. That's OK if rote memorization is one's cup of tea, but it's not mine. I'd rather understand the material.

I felt the same way Al. I purchased Ham Radio For Dummies, which explains things in further detail. But I still couldn't fully grasp all the technical stuff. Guess that makes me dumber than a Dummy.
I did get my Technician license several years ago using the memorization method . And I still can't operate my handheld radio very well. I think I need someone to sit down with me to explain it.
I used The Technician Class 2014-18 FCC Element 2 Radio License Preparation Paperback by Gordon West. It comes with an audio CD that was pretty entertaining. However there is a lot of stuff that is just memorization. I used http://www.qrz.com/hamtest/ to practice for the test once you get an average of 85% then you are ready to test.
what does the middle button on the baofengs do? cant figure it out.
