In other news, I am intermittently studying for the #Ham Technician test. This is partly @HopelessDemigod 's fault.

@mcdanlj @HopelessDemigod Cool! I’ll check it out. I especially like when sites have strong keyboard support.
@mkb @HopelessDemigod Oh, I forgot to mention — the whole site is open source. Anyone with ideas can PR them. It's not just that anyone can contribute to making the explanations better — the whole site is open that way.
So, say, find a corner case where keyboard nav fails? Report a bug (the forum is fine for that, or GitHub, either way), or if it happens it's in your skill set and interest, it's also possible to just code it up and create a pull request for it.

As @VE2UWY says loads of us on here, if you get stuck on anything ask away
i got my HF radio before i did my first license exam, as i found listening and setting stuff up helped me make sense of some of the things in the exam, and it kept my interest up as i wanted to join in with what i was listening to, so was incentivized to crack on with the study and exam
There are a metric buttload of fellow radioamateurs here. Ask Us Anything. Study well!
@mkb
Best wishes on your studies.
@HopelessDemigod 's posts are a good enticement to get into Ham Radio but I've been resisting and just enjoying following along.
@roytoo @HopelessDemigod One of the BayMesh people put up a nice quiz site for it:
@mkb
Cool! I see that now you too are enticing me to join the Ham Radio side. 😁
@HopelessDemigod
@roytoo @HopelessDemigod If I’m going down, I’m taking others with me! 😜
@mkb @HopelessDemigod I have no idea whether this is interesting or helpful for you. If not, feel free to ignore it. But just in case it's useful:
A friend of mine, KK4PWJ Brad, recently built a new ham study site to help learn the material, organizing it into topics and lessons which are complete for the Technician level, and detailed technical explanations for all the questions. I know it's been used successfully to help study for every ham license level.
Brad's day job is in testing, so he knows how to build study software. It's accessible, including screen reader support and keyboard controls, and it even allows selecting a dyslexic-friendly font for those who prefer it. He's really invested in accessibility! ❤️
Anyway, I liked it so much that I offered to maintain a forum for it so that anyone on the site can ask questions if they find the explanations incomplete or confusing.
