HAM Radio License manual? (1 Viewer)

[CCRider]

Does anyone have a copy of the ARRL HAM Radio License manual 4th Ed. I could borrow? I won't start working on the license until next month but want to prep asap. Also, any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

While I absolutely encourage you to read the study manual, the fastest and easiest way to pass the test is to read the question pool and memorize the material. Hamexam.org has Flash Cards, Question Pools, and practice exams. All for free.

The Bozo Public Library had a copy when I studied for the exam. Youtube videos from W4EEY were helpful for me. Good luck.

Agreed. For what we're doing with trail coms... that's the easiest way to look at it. If you think you want to set up a shack in the basement and talk to guys in Japan in your tighty-whiteys... then learn all the stuff.

If you do end up wanting to get deeper into it than just getting a Tech license and call sign, Gallatin Ham Radio Club is the place to go. They help maintain the Bridger Ridge Repeater, volunteer with SAR, put on hidden transmitter "Foxhunts", and act as a network for people interested in amateur radio in the area.

I think it would be really fun to build some directional antennas and combine a hidden transmitter Foxhunt with some mild wheeling someday in the future.
