This is the best book out there!!!!,
By Katherine S. Wood (Clarksville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ride the Airwaves with ALFA & ZULU: Technician Amateur Radio Ham License Manual (Paperback)
I have to say that this is the best book out there! I am thirteen years old and I got my tech plus in 3 weeks and now am operating 2 meters. I highly recommend this book for any one. This book kind of hides the high concentration level required for this exciting hobby by having fun. It is like little comic strips and then a small quiz after each lesson. It is the best buy I have made in a while other than my radio. Without this book I would not have my license so I wouldn't be eligible for a radio! I would like to thank my mom, dad, WD4ITU, KB6MT, and the author of this book K6YB. P.S. If you live in TX I opperate on the repeater 146.96 alot. Young people get interested in Ham radio... its great! 73 and God Bless

The BEST study guide for your technician license.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ride the Airwaves with ALFA & ZULU: Technician Amateur Radio Ham License Manual (Paperback)
Hands down winner for no nonsense preparation leading towards your entry into amateur radio! The principles presented are plain and to the point. No reading between the lines, and no guessing as to what the author is getting at. The questions presented after each chapter reinforce the material just covered (and are the actual test questions from the current pool). I read the book in a little over a week, and by week two passed my technician test!

Ride the Airwaves,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ride the Airwaves with ALFA & ZULU: Technician Amateur Radio Ham License Manual (Paperback)
Excellent book. Our family is studying to pass the technical license exam and have found the clear diagrams, explanations, and material organization in this book to be far superior to that of the class-issued book (which primarily focuses on the exam questions and then explains the answers).I wish we had something comparable for the general class license!
