 A good introduction to ham radio May 14, 2007

I used this book to study for my technician level test. I passed with a 100 percent. The book was well written to give you enough information in a interesting read. This book is not too dull or dry except for the FCC rule part. But rules are hard to make exciting to read. This book told you enough to pass the test with plenty to spare.
The technician test is not too technical, no electrical circuits or attenna design type questions. The test is more operating procedure, permitted operating frequencies, permitted wattages and attenna heights.
If you want to stay on the local voice repeaters, packet radio, or internet protocols on the 2m, 1.25m, 70cm and the other permitted bands; a technician's license is all you need.

Took my Technician exam in February 2007 & passed it with missing only two questions. The most current version of this book will prepare you for the examination & you will pass it.

I just passed the technicians test (like 4 hours ago!) with a perfect score and this book is the reason why. All you have to do is go over all the questions a couple of times and the test will be a breeze. I also own the Technician's Manual by Gordon West and while that is a fine publication, I found the ARRL manual more to my liking. 100% first try - this book will make it happen.
Good, quick resource August 5, 2008

I bought this book and used it and passed the exam 100%. I studied and mastered a chapter per day about for a week and took the exam and was more than prepared. Read the book, do the questions, then do online practice exams and you could get your license in 2 weeks tops. Great book. There are alternatives, such as the Q&A but I actually wanted to know how to be a ham rather than just how to pass the exam. Personal preference.
