 Rating:  - It just teaches to the testI really don't know whether to review this just as a test prep or as actual learning material, so I'll discuss it from both angles. As far as preparation for the Ham Tech test, it is easily 5 stars. I used only this book and missed just one question, and was surprised to have missed even that. It's well written and it contains the full pool of 300+ questions, which the 35 questions you take on the actual test will be drawn from. That latter fact alone would make it crazy not to study this book before ... Read More Rating: - Great preparation materials 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 ... Read More Rating:  - Excellent Book For Passing the Technician TestI 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 ... Read More Rating: - Does what it says... but not enough for ground-floor beginners.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 ... Read More Rating:  - Solid, though dryThis 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.... Browse for similar items by category:
