Easy navigation links Ken, KB3LLA, invites you to join the Handiham Radio Club Technician Class beginner course DAISY book reading software AMIS. The new Technician lecture series began in July, 2010. It is valid until July of 2014. http://www.handiham.org/local/blind/technician_audio_lectures.htm The first release of the Technician question pool effective July 1 2010 is now on line as modified by George LaValle, N0SBU. It is modified to show only the correct answers. Any or our student members who are planning to take the Technician exam after June 30, 2010 should study from the new question pool. This is also a wake-up call for those of you who have not been studying regularly - the Technician test and all the study materials change on July 1, so get busy if you want to pass using the old question pool!
The new General lecture
series has begun as of 1 July 2011. http://www.handiham.org/local/blind/general1.htm
The General Pool effective 1 July 2011 through 30 June 2015 is now available from Handihams in four formats:
We have completed
the Extra Lecture series. All the lectures may be found at: Although all lectures from number 1 are available at the above link, here are the most recent lecture links, starting with the last lecture: The 2008-2012 Extra pools:
The Extra Class pools in the Manuals section The main Extra lecture menu page is here:
http://www.handiham.org/local/blind/extra_class.htm
Note when using the main Extra lecture menu page that
the "lectures pending" pages are just placeholders for future lectures
and thus do not link to any audio until I make the lecture and add it to the
regular menu in sequential order.
The Extra Pool Handiham DAISY book:
1. You will need eClipseWater, so here is the link to
the website:
http://www.eclipsereader.com/eClipseWater/index.htm
2. You will need a DAISY book reader. If you want to
read a DAISY book on your computer, you can use an open source free program like
AMIS, which is pronounced "ah-mee". You can find it at:
3. Here is the link to the new Handiham Extra Class pool DAISY book. Remember that you need eClipseWater to reconstruct the book onto your hard drive before putting it in your DAISY player. Also, this option is for those who wish to boldly go where almost no person has gone before, to experiment, learn and have fun with new technology. Which means that I won't give you tech support on all this stuff, HI, HI. Anyway, here is the link to the DNA file: http://www.handiham.org/local/daisy/extra_class/extra_pool/Extra_3_P.DNA
If you get this to work for you, I'd like to hear from
you. We are in the beta testing phase of DAISY book production.
