Ohhh.  Trust me.. I know ALLLL about the Advanced license.  Failed that test 4 
times at a convention.  I just could NOT get past the MATH..   The way the ARRL 
book tried to explain it to me just was getting passed my skull.

I finally got past it with the Extra, by the great W4EEY (May be mispelling his 
callsign) video classes, which not only walk you through how to do it all on a 
calculator step by step, but only shows you the relavent formulae for the 
question.  Whereas the ARRL book just throws it out there.  You use this 
formula to get this, then take this ansewr and use this formula, then take this 
and do this and here if your answer.  By the time I got to the single fomula I 
needed to use (Since the other values were already provided in the question.), 
my brain was MUSH!
