Hi all,
Would any of y'all have a recommendation on a technician study guide
that would be at least somewhat accessible for an upper-elementary
student? Our kids have taken something of an interest in getting a ham
license after watching K6DFB and me use our ham radios, and somewhere I
think I heard or read that y'all had a /7-year-old/ pass a technician
exam at some point. :)
I realize that simple rote memory might be a key here, but the kids have
had enough fun with Snap Circuits (which features AM radio receivers and
transmitters among other things) that some of the concepts are
reasonably accessible. We'll just need to do a lot of teaching. :)
We're currently using FRS / GMRS (WRJB888) with the kids, which
operationally works fine, though because of the way the FCC regs are set
up, if I want to TX on ham and GMRS on the same outing, I have to carry
two separate radios. And since the kids are getting more interested in
ham now...
