    I’ve seen too many articles saying China/Russia is balls deep in our infrastructure to believe we’ll have any reliable communication if WW3 breaks out.

      especially since DOGE gave everyone backdoor access, I would not rely on any critical infrastructure in the US

        Pretty much. There’s a flashcard app for $4 (hamstudy) with all the questions. I went through it for 30 minutes a night for two months, and I passed the Tech license no problem. I ought to do the same for General and Extra. Granted, Extra doesn’t give you that much more, but you do get a piece of paper from the government declaring you Extra.

        It was a little easy for me because I was already familiar with electronics symbols, and those are one chunk of the Tech exam. Flashcards will get you through it, though.
