    About this ebook

    There is no greater feeling than passing and receiving your Amateur Extra radio license. Unfortunately, the reality is that life sometimes gets in the way and causes delays. This Quick Study Guide has been designed with the time starved individual in mind that wishes to obtain their amateur extra radio license with little time to fit into their schedules for extensive study.

    This is NOT your normal study guide or reference manual. There are no explanations to the questions or answers. This was done to maximize your ability to study and focus on the important information to pass your test.  

    This guide was created by current Amateur Radio Operators to aid others in a way to assist in learning the material quickly. This study guide can, and is highly recommended to be used in conjunction with flashcards or other study applications and programs that teach and explain the theories used in Amateur Radio.

    The Amateur Radio Quick Study Guide uses the current Federal Communications Commission (FCC) question pool and will be updated as needed. The questions and answers in here are directly from the pool of questions for the Amateur Extra class license test. Study hard and have confidence that the questions and answers you read here are the same as you will encounter on your test. 

    The Amateur Extra Class License Exam consists of 50 Questions.

    There are a total of 10 sections with multiple sub-sections in each Study Guide. Be prepared and ready to challenge your radio exam head on with confidence. Enjoy studying and collect the reward of the challenge.

    We will be waiting for you on the air!
