The last entry suggests it already: I'm preparing just before the amateur radio exam.
Today was the invitation to check in the mail. In just over two weeks, it is so far and if I pass there (which I still want to hope hard times), I may From then complain officially amateur radio.
Today I first bought a new (scientific) calculator for the exam. Actually I have two computers in school hours flying around somewhere, but somehow I do not think those things easily. Fortunately, you get thrown behind calculator now, but it irks me a little but because I actually do not need a calculator. If I figure out something must be accessible to a computer or cell phone nearby, just on account of their programming in the test unfortunately not allowed.
The test itself is a purely theoretical multiple-choice exam, similar to the theoretical driving test. There are always 4 possible answers, of which exactly one is correct. Some questions have to read every word very carefully because some of the answers sound right at first, because a small detail but easy to overseeable are wrong.
addition, one should memorize vast amounts of data, of which I already know that I guarantee they will not need as fast. As would include almost all European country code plus a few international ones.
that "the UK" stands for Australia, you can just kind of banging with mnemonics to the brain. Most other experts are unfortunately similar to "obvious". I have it using open source vocabulary trainer Anki built a database for learning. (I have to let me think whether I have the database after the test post here. Are some mnemonics not quite politically correct ...)
Why in the age of Google know by heart, in which office available sheet are any special details regulated someone has to tell me one day. This whole Auswendiglernerei was to me has always been held by the test.
quite as bad as I thought at the beginning, but it is not, fortunately. So one must not all land experts to learn by heart, which are requested. Some questions can be the Agency with their own weapons beat: The questions aimed at the confusion of the reader, prance all more or less tightly around the correct answer. If you look closely, you can therefore for example, some land experts answer questions, without even reading the question or to know a single one of the country code. Just count, which occur most often expert at what position. Does not work in every case, but in a surprising number.
Right now, my overall error rate somewhere between 8 and 12% and the test simulations made so far I still have not really messed up. I see the check therefore more accommodating left ... should work actually, but if too many stupid questions in a heap come's can go wrong. I will therefore see that my error rate still further lowered, as falling through the worst case scenario would be for me. Not only that the tests are not cheap, the next test would then be possible until the end of October at the International Radio in Hanover. As long as I do not want to wait, I can see the legal knowledge that is not slow ... :- and houses surrounded. I therefore need a small, unobtrusive antenna that is still powerful.
has the country living here then but for once benefits. A friend of mine who also works just on its examination, although only a rather lame DSL, but enough room to get to plant a giant antenna system in the garden.
Finally, a supplement to AFUTrainer from the last blog entry
: The self-compiled on Mac OS X source code is so basic, some GUI elements are presented to me but not really. In addition, the learning-assistant crashed with me at the beginning because any graphical control has accessed an invalid memory location. The error I have now weggepatcht, at times I may still write a tutorial how the error is eliminated. Is actually relatively simple. Can the learning process on another computer take over, where you hid the files from the ". Afutrainer" over copied directory (see all operating systems directly in the user directory).
last tip: If the font size to the questions are so tiny that it is hardly read, you can enlarge them, in which one is the mouse over the text box, the ALT key (or was it CTRL or CMD anyway? one of the three) down holds and rotates the mouse wheel. When you press the right button is not zoomed to the full screen, but only the text box. To enter the answers to offer the hotkey "a" - "d", which saves some mouse miles.
