5.0 out of 5 stars I have used this many times to help people enter HAm radio., March 26, 1999

This review is from: Ride the Airwaves With Alfa & Zulu: Novice & No-Code Technician Amateur Radio License Manual (Paperback)

This is a great book for someone wanting to enter the World of Amateur Radio. Its non technical look belies its seriousness as a first rate learning tool to help people study for their entry Amateur Radio license.

I have used the first edition with 4 elementary school license classes, and with several adult classes. The reaction-Everyone who studied using the text passed.

It makes learning the radio theory easy and fun.

This tool is far more user friendly than others currently on the market.

I am now using the second edition for my school classes. What does that tell you? My students love it. It cuts throught the filler of the other texts. They can accomplish more with this text than any of the others.

Ideas for projects and activities can be seen on each page.

5.0 out of 5 stars "ALFA & ZULU" DID THE TRICK!, November 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ride the Airwaves With Alfa & Zulu: Novice & No-Code Technician Amateur Radio License Manual (Paperback)

I have just passed the Novice and No-Code Technician tests! Not only did I pass, but I got a perfect score on the Novice and only missed one on the Technician exams. I am a person who has had no electronic or radio background whatsoever! The book presented just the information I needed to know. I loved the information on one page and the questions on the next. My class was using a book that was very difficult to learn from, and without "ALFA & ZULU", I would have dropped out of the class and never looked back. My best friend took the test and passed as well. Again, it was thanks to "ALFA & ZULU"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Priceless Teaching Aid, May 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ride the Airwaves With Alfa & Zulu: Novice & No-Code Technician Amateur Radio License Manual (Paperback)

John Abbott hits the ball out of the park with his "ALFA & ZULU" books. We have successfully used these books for the Garland Amateur Radio Club's popular "Kid's Radio Class". We cannot say enough good things about this book. If someone is serious about teaching youngsters the joys and wonders of wireless communication, they will have a copy of this book handy. Also recommended: "Now You're Talking!" by the ARRL. Our radio club has found this to be a 5 star text for achieving the entry level amateur radio license.
