 Great preparation materials October 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I hike/camp a good bit and there are times when it would be good to have a way to communicate but cell service won't work. I had a HAM license when I was in high school as part of an electronics class. In short, it had been better than 30 years since I had messed with anything radio. I bought the book and worked my way through it over the course of a couple of weeks in addition to using some internet resources as well. I found the book to be well organized, clear and concise, and included the whole question pool as well as a very thorough glossary, which is helpful with the language. All in all, I would recommend this as an excellent way to prepare for the Technician Exam.
 Excellent Book For Passing the Technician Test October 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just passed the Technician test with 100% using this book. I also used some on-line test exams from various websites. The book is well laid out. The main material is in the front of the book and the test questions are at the back. As you read through the book, after each section there are related practice test questions to take. After I had worked through all the sections in the book, I just kept going through the practice test questions over and over until I got them right. The questions in the back of the book have indicators refering back to the related section in case you want to study more. There are certain portions of the book that you just need to memorize such as the radio band plans, some electrical relation calculations, and signal and wavelenth relationships. The book makes that pretty easy to understand. This book was very interesting and taught me quite a bit. Even though my test is finished, I still refer to this book quite often as it has alot of useful information in it. There is also a glossary of terms in the back that I refer to quite often. The bottom line is if you want to pass the Technician test and have a useful book for afterwards, this is the book to get.
Does what it says... but not enough for ground-floor beginners. September 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this book after inheriting radio equipment from a relative. While I had some basic knowledge of amateur radio, it was confined to sitting next to someone who turned the dials. Now that I'm studying for my license, I find it all a bit overwhelming. This book does what it says to get you ready for the test, but there's some even more basics that are not covered at all. That's fine, for I feel well prepared to tackle the test next month, but I know I'll continue to learn more and more about amateur radio for years and years.
But isn't that the point of ham, anyway?
 Solid, though dry September 24, 2008

This is almost a necessity if you're new to Ham, and there's a lot of good information in here. I would like it to be a bit more entertaining, but that's not what it's there for....
It works buy it August 9, 2008
Bought the book; Read Part of the Book; Went over ALL questions and just got out of the Exam in Reading Pa. One wrong. 90%. You will PASS. I did
