Hey, Am. Sky, there is some really good sites that will help you out. http://www.qrz.com has prastice tests and you can go to http://www.hamradioinstructor.com then go to the page for power points. Scroll down the page untill you see a section that has lesson1,2,3,4 and 5. These are power point presentations that are great. You can also go to http://www.arrl.com and order a copy of their book. They have contact info. on there to assist you. I think another good site for practice tests is http://www.eham.net If that doesnt work do a google search for Ham Radio practice tests and you can find lots of tests and info. You are looking for the technician level practice tests.

ARRL's website has the entire question pool posted. You can study and memorize the answers. The tech exam (which I passed 2 weeks ago but my paperwork didn't make it to the VEC and they're working on that) is only 35 questions...it's not too hard at all.
Normally I don't advocate for simply memorizing answers, but since my dad's a ham and an electronics tinkerer, I have a pretty good background in electronics and theory...so most of the questions I understood and could respond intelligently to, it was just helpful to memorize the answers. The guys at the ham club are quite friendly and if I didn't have family obligations in the evenings I would get involved with the club and go to meetings regularly and such. As it is, they'll see me for a while on field day, but not much else.
They'll hear me on the 2-meter though. I already have my HT and I'm debating building a 2-meter copper cactus antenna or buying one of Arrow's aluminum antennas.
