The Amateur Radio hobby is the entryway into telecommunications for many people. Because radio has an international and even off-the-Earth impact, you need an FCC license to participate. The Technician license exam has 35 questions drawn from a candidate question pool of over 400 questions. While the contents of the question pool are in the public domain, there are better strategies than rote memorization for passing the exam. Even if you have a technical background, you may need assistance with the FCC rules, current amateur practice, and amateur radio terminology. This study guide, authored by Stephen Horan, NM4SH, an experienced licensed amateur and former professor of Electrical Engineering, comes in handy. This Amateur Radio Technician Class Licensing study guide prepares you for the initial FCC Amateur license examination used between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2026. The guide addresses each of the questions in the license question pool, with each chapter covering one of the ten license question areas. For each question, the guide provides the question, the correct answer, and an explanation for that answer. Additionally, the guide explains why many of the answers to the distractions are incorrect. Each chapter starts with relevant background information, tables, and figures to help understand the chapter's topics. You will learn about the regulations governing amateur radio communications, good amateur practice in the operating modes, and basic radio math and electronics through the questions and answers. Stephen Horan, NM4SH, has been a licensed amateur for over 25 years. During that time, he helped develop and lead weekend licensing classes with the Mesilla Valley Radio Club in Las Cruces, NM.
