I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

If you look like food you will be eaten.

I'd rather have and not need it,as to need and not have it.

Check out hamexam.org You can take practice tests from the current pool and they also do flash cards.

Stop buying cheap Chinese radios. Pick a mobile from one of the big three.

A Cheap Chinese Junk is fine for starting with. Get used to using a radio and after a while you will realize how the more expensive Japanese radios have a much better tone, feel and just overall quality. Then upgrade as you can afford.

Just get into the hobby, the hobby needs you.
