Thank You! for your hard work. I like free stuff, especially when given by someone concerned with creating more operators, better operators. I know that most will curl their lip at this, even though they may have started there. I predominantly operate on the 11 Meter band. I guess because that is where I started, plus I get a kick out of some of the characters on this band, plus I feel I do a small service when helping CB fellas out setting up their stations correctly, or close to it. When they find out I am a HAM also it brings questions and most go on to get their ticket also. Some have really excelled and have by-passed me going to Extra. I am slow and happy and I like it that way. Again, Thank You for your work!

Thank you for making your technician study guide. It helped me get my technician class license in 2007. Now that I am thinking of upgrading my license to the general class, I am once again using your book. I have also recently recommended your book to a friend of mine who wants to get his technician license. Great work!

Thanks for the kind words, Mark. I think what happened is that the file accidentally got deleted when I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, the blogging software that runs this site. Thanks for pointing out the broken link. I’ve just fixed it.

Hi Dan
I’ve been reading through your guide for probably the last month or so, and am be going to take the exam in just 2 days (I am regularly scoring in the upper 90s or 100 using your guide against QRZd practice tests). I don’t have any doubt I’ll pass the exam at the very least….. I will also buy the ARRL manual (I should have already, but I’m short on cash so bypassed it)… but love the hobby !

Cheers, Mark (KJ4ECJ – /ALMOST AG)

PS : I just checked this site to see if the Guide was still available but it keeps returning error 404 (What gives ?) Good thing I downloaded it.

I just now printed out your guide. Thanks for making it available. I will try my way through it and let you know but regardless I realize that this is quite an effort on your part, thanks. Jim H.

Yes, what’s in the study guide is pretty much all you need to know to pass the test. To be a “successful” radio amateur, however, you’ll find that you’ll have to keep learning. :)

Besides reading the guide, I also encourage you to take online practice tests. The three sites I recommend are:
QRZ.Com
AA9PW.Com
KB0MGA.Net

Hi, I’ve been an active SWL for several years and wish to get a tech ticket. Is this all the info i need to pass the test? Its been years since i tried to ‘study’ to learn and am expecting a hard time. any additional info via web links sent to my email, (additional study material , practice exams) would be greatly appreciated. I have enjoyed listening for several years on dxtuners.com and my personal s/w receiver. I think the tech in 08 and then moving towards general in 09 is my goals. Thanks for taking the time to help out a newbie!

Thank you so much for the no nonsense study guide. It is so helpful for instructors, and it is very helpful for students as a final study tool. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this guide and I am really looking forward to using it in January with my class. Anita AI4YV, Sun City Center, Florida
