Technician Course Presentation by K3DIO
Updated January, 2007! This is a new presentation by Bob, K3DIO, for the the new Question Pool effective July 1, 2006. There is a separate file for
each subelement of the question pool. Comments from Bob:
These files have been received from N8KBR, Earl, and I edited what he sent me. He did the rigorous
task of typing the basic info into Power Point and sent me those slides. Then I imported his slides to my template
and did the custom animation and addition of pictures and graphics.
All files are for non-commercial use and considered placed in the public domain. No translating to
another language and selling them that way to get around this request.
Each PPT has three sections to them. The first is what I call the “Information” part. This is the
guts of the lessons. The second part is what I call: “Take Aways” and this section is a condensed set
of the ‘info’ section. The third section is the questions and answers for that sub-element. Lots of custom
animation throughout the PPT’s. Each question in section three will show the correct answer by the next mouse click.
