If you, or someone you know, is interested in getting their amateur radio license, I am the author of a study guide for starting class of license, the Technician license. The test requires some study, but not much, since it consists of 35 multiple-choice questions. The passing score is 26.

My study guide is available at Amazon, either as a paperback or as a Kindle eBook. Most people will be able to pass the test by reading the book one time. Since different people learn different ways, I’ve decided to supplement the book with a series of audio lessons. I recommend reading the book, but many will be able to pass the test simply by listening to the lessons. They are available for free download at the following links:

• Chapter 1: Basic Electricity and Electronics
  • Part 1 41:25
  • Part 2 6:50
• Chapter 2: Radio Waves 18:56
• Chapter 3: Antennas 19:03
• Chapter 4: Propagation of Radio Waves 12:40
• Chapter 5: Radio Equipment & Setting Up a Station 14:31
• Chapter 6: Different Modes 11:55
• Chapter 7: Different Operating Activities 5:34
• Chapter 8: Operating Procedures 9:09
• Chapter 9: FCC Rules 10:25
• Chapter 10: Safety 7:47
• Chapter 11: Miscellaneous 5:02

I also have study guides for other amateur and commercial licenses at my website.
