Hi everyone -

Received this today... The site *looks* safe (it only asks you to create a login/password and doesn't ask for any personal information) and potentially useful, so I thought I'd pass it along.

FWIW, copasetic means "very satisfactory."

Thanks!

Hi Robin,

I just saw the University Of Oklahoma ARC on the arrl.org<http://arrl.org/> web site and I noticed that you offer help for newcomers.  I just created a set of free online exam practice tests that I hope hams will find useful.

Within the practice tests, online study resources, (Wikipedia, NASA, ARRL, etc...), are provided for many of the questions. The list of resources available for each question is constantly growing because users can add their own favorite links to the study materials. Users can also track their test scores over time and see which subelements are giving them the most trouble. You can see all the practice tests at:

Please let me know if you find it handy, or if you think of any ways to make it better.  Also, if you think it's useful, please feel free to add a link to the practice exams at your site.  Thanks!
