While I really, really enjoy all Ham frequencies I do not take any Ham radios with me on tours due to the associated weight and bulk.

Btw .... for years I have heard folks comment on how 'easy' the Technician test was/is ....

Full disclosure: I did not find it to be a simple walk in the park whereby little studying was needed on my part.

Meanwhile ... I do hope you find it to be as easy as many others hold it to be; however, if you over-study you still win because of how much you will learn about your new great hobby.

In fact, I have enjoyed re-reading the Technician and the General manual and the Q & As over a number of times over the years just to keep a re-freshed working knowledge.
