Hi folks. As per the title I'd like to get my first level of HAM license - the Technician level.
Is there a PDF study guide out there somewhere? I checked my local club and I'm not getting a response. Maybe they don't check their email very often.

Have a look here - http://www.arrl.org/licensing-preparation-exams

Test papers can be found here - http://www.hamtests.co.uk/

Keep trying the local club, make an appearance - it's the best kind of "hands on" you'll find...

Here is how I prepared for Technician in 3 days

1. ARRL Technician Book.
2.Hamexam.com (free test site that tracks you)

That book is worth it. I really learned the material well and aced that exam. I set a goal of a certain date and wizzed right through the technician material. I was so interested in it I went and got the book for General and ran through the same think Book and website for test. I got both tickets first shot. It wasnt that hard. I am studying for my Extra right now and that material.. wow.. that is difficult. I refuse to just memorize answers, the extra course work isnt "cake"
