** License Exam Questions of the week – 190

The 70th Hamvention® has just past us. Hopefully you were able to spend a few days and enjoy event. The theme for this year’s Hamvention® was “Reunion” and so this week’s will focus on anything close that can be found in the question pools. To help explain my insanity:

1) You need a union before you can have a reunion, and that starts off the Technician pool question. 

2) Synthesis is a term used in chemistry where reacts are brought together, and DDS kinda does that.

3) Hamvention®, convention, conventional gets you to the Extra question.
