Description

NOTE: This is the PDF version of the study guide. You can read this file with just about any PDF application. This study guide is also available in ePub format.

If you prefer a Kindle version, you can purchase it directly from Amazon. You can also purchase a print version from Amazon.


I’ve been doing these study guides for a long time, and they have helped literally thousands get their licenses and upgrade to General Class and Extra Class. Written in a simple, easy-to-understand style, this study guide covers:

  • Electrical Principles
  • Circuit Components
  • Practical Circuits
  • Signals and Emissions
  • Antennas and Feedlines
  • Radio Wave Propagation
  • Amateur Radio Practices
  • Operating Procedures
  • Electrical and RF Safety
  • Commission’s Rules

Every single question that you’ll find on the test is included in the book. It gives you a short, “no nonsense” explanation of the topic and follows it with the question from the question pool, with the correct answer highlighted. Here’s an example:

The reactance caused by a capacitor depends on the frequency of the AC source. You calculate the reactance caused by a capacitor with the equation XC = 1/(2πfC), where XC is the capacitive reactance in ohms (Ω), f is the frequency of the AC applied to the capacitor in Hertz (Hz), and C is the capacitance in farads. As you can see from the equation, as the frequency of the AC increases, the capacitive reactance decreases.

G5A06
How does a capacitor react to AC?
A. As the frequency of the applied AC increases, the reactance decreases
B. As the frequency of the applied AC increases, the reactance increases
C. As the amplitude of the applied AC increases, the reactance increases
D. As the amplitude of the applied AC increases, the reactance decreases

With this study guide, you really can upgrade to General Class, so why wait?
