Good day, For those of you looking to upgrade to AE, I've created a study document that contains the new question pool and CORRECT answers only. This document is valid from 7/1/2024 through 6/30/2028. For folks who use the memory method, it is not necessary to memorize incorrect answers. You can find it here: http://www.queencreekarc.org/2028Extra.pdf Here is another version from AD7FO that also adds some tips and explanations: http://www.queencreekarc.org/2024Extra_syllabus.pdf Regards, Joe, N2QOJ Queen Creek Amateur Radio Club East Valley Amateur Radio Group

The next Radios @ Home event will be this Saturday, June 15th, starting at 10:00 hours until around 12:00 hours. If there's enough activity, we'll continue on for a while longer. What is Radios @ Home? It’s a continuation of the Radios Under Sun Shade events that run in the east valley and elsewhere during the cooler months. It’s an opportunity to maintain and exercise our equipment and our skills and to make as many contacts as possible while running your radio station off-grid from the comfort of your air conditioned home. We use a frequency of 146.460 and many use a PL tone of 77hz as well. So please feel free to join us on 146.460 and give a call for “any station participating in Radios @ Home”. If you'd like more information, check out the descriptions on the upper right of the web page at queencreekarc.org. Hope to catch you on the air! Take care and stay safe and well! 73, "And may the propagation be ever in your favor!" John (-: KI7PPW ;-)
