  Welcome to the group Ray!

Brent - KF6HDJ.  I currently live in Pensacola and have been licensed for 30 
years in October (Was taken abake that it has already been the long when I just 
renewed my license for the third time.).

Started as a Technician back in 96 (Almost typed No Code Tech!), been through 
more upgrades than I care to rememeber.  Did the 5 WPM, and 13WPM when I got 
Generaled.  Actually I did the 13WPM about 5 times.  Tried to upgrade to 
Advanced multiple times but the math kept killing me.  Upgraded to Extra 2 
years ago with the help of the W4EEY YouTUbe class!  

If you are thinking of upgrading definately check out their classes.  You can 
either wait until a new class starts or start right now with the saved videos 
from their previous class!  I would not have been able to do it on my own.  
Most of the books out there (Especially the ARRL material), tend to take a 
kitchen sink approach to math.  They throw all the forumals at you in a single 
chapter not clearly indentifying which ones go to which set of questions.  So 
by the time you work through even half of them your brain is complete mush!  
W4EEY breaks down a single formula used for your specific formula and which 
parts are already given to you.
