If you've found good routes to getting Ham radio licensed, please post them here. Particular on-line courses you thought were good?? I've not liked the old book from Radio Shack too much -- doesn't seem efficient.

Good Luck. The test is pretty easy, especially if you already have some basic electronics knowledge.
