My study guides are geared to helping people pass the U. So, to answer your question, yes, my study guides would be of limited use to you in Australia. I commented on your post last week about the testimonials, but it seems to have been removed for some reason. Just wanted to say thanks for the guides, they helped out a lot. Your study guides were invaluable for getting my license. We are having an earthquake drill in a couple of weeks and I just felt the need to finally get my ham license.
I studied your technician and general license guides for a couple of weeks along with some tests and flash cards. I made one mistake on my Technician Exam, no mistakes on my General Exam, and came within 4 questions of passing the Extra Exam. Using your guide our trainers presented a 6 hour class for the Tech license It was originally scheduled as one day but scheduling conflicts forced it to two days a week apart. Thanks for your excellent guide. I am a technician who will be taking the extra class exam in a couple of months.
Does your guide go through each question one by one? Both the Gordon West study guide and my study guide cover each question, but we do it in different ways. I think that what Gordon West does is take each question and explains why the correct answer is correct. What I do is to take each question in the question pool, rephrase them as statements, then group related questions and add text to explain the concepts. Rather than treat each question individually, I cover related questions together, and compare and contrast them.
I only missed 3 questions on the exam, and those from second-guessing myself. Thank you very much Dan! I got my tech ticket back in and just this year I got on the air. I thought about bumping up to the general so I searched for a study guide.
Solely by using your No-Nonsense General I was able to pass that general no problem, a couple of months ago. Next up, the extra class. Not in the near future. Thanks again. Total stinking novice and and old guy. Need to know this stuff. Let you know results from usuing you resources. Thanks to your No Nosense Technician Class guide, a friend is newly licensed. I used it as a reference, conducting a tutorial for a few students — one of them sat for and passed the Technician test today.
Thanks for the work you put into the guide. Really helped organize and bring some context to the material, which is a great way to learn. Hi Dan i want to say thank you for your study guides. I got both the Tech and General. Thank you for your wonderful books. Thanks Aaron.
Real happy to be back in ham radio as KW4PI. Thanks, Dan. I am happy to have found your study guides on the Internet and just downloaded the pdf version of the Technician exam. Thanks for your kind words, Johnny. If you have any questions about the material, please feel free to ask. You should have six or seven sample pages of your text so people like me can get an idea if the General guide will help them or not.
I have the Gordo book and that is not helping. I just got my Tech… but want to get the Gen before I buy equipment. I post sections of each of the study guides on my blog as I update the sections. The text is essentially the same as what appears in the study guide. I upgraded Sept. Much better than just studying questions and answers.
After reading his guide I started taking practice tests and did really well on them right off. I passed my General with 2 wrong. I will be buying the Extra Class guide soon. As you may know, the question pool will change on July 1, Your guides are now 2 for 2; I took and passed my technician exam in March and now 4 months later I took and passed the general exam, using your guides both times!
Your guides are indispensable and will take their place alongside my ARRL Handbook as a source of info as I continue on as a ham. Thanks for all your hard work. I certainly will, Dan. Bought the materials for a fan dipole and convinced my neighbor to string it across his properties so I can get some height. Dan, Your study guides are great!
I am studying for my Extra class exam now. Dan, The extra class study guide is great. It allowed me to focus my studies on the questions I would be tested on. I highlighted each question and added my own notes in the margins. I passed the Extra class exam easily and with confidence. Thanks again,. Getting back on the mic after taking 10 years off, what better motivation than getting my general? Check back with me by March or so. N1NJI 73s. Thank you for these!
Started studying the material on , took the test and passed. For me, the format is excellent. Almost 50 now, kids long gone out of the nest and more free time.
Decided it was time to get this done! Will be purchasing the General guide and then hopefully on to Extra! Thank you for all your work on the Technician Study guide. It was my husbands idea to get Ham radio licenses and As usual, he asked if I would study and test too.
After 48 years of being together, I usually go along with whatever he is interested in because he is kind hearted enough to go along with mine wackiness! Our daughter took the Ham exams many years ago and passed so I had a little exposure to what it was and how it worked but I felt overwhelmed with using a manual.
I was so happy to find your online guide which cuts out the extras and focuses on the exam questions! Thanks to you I passed the exam with only 4 wrong answers! Unfortunately I failed the General exam since I had not even thought I would pass the Tecnicians but I am surely going to be ordering your General guides!
Number me among the thousands who have successfully used your no nonsense guides. I recently read the first technician class and passed the exam with only one week of study.
Hello Dan, thanks for the free technician class guide. Before the guide I was usually passing practice tests aa9pw. After spending a half hour with your guide, I passed the real test with no wrong answers. It was concise and helped me understand things not just memorize the correct answers. I just downloaded the general class pdf and have high hopes.
Thanks for the kind words, Brian. What you describe is exactly the result I was hoping for when I wrote my study guides. Thanks so much for your informative study guides………… I learned much from your youtube tech class……….. Thank you for assembling and publishing these No-Nonsense guides, they have been remarkably effective study guides.
On March 18th, at the Winterfest Hamfest in Annandale VA after less than two months of study using your No-Nonsense guides, Google, and no other resources, I passed my Technician and General class all at once on the first try. Just a little help please. My adopted son 10 years old at the time and I 65 years old at the time visited a Ham festival in Jackson, MS just before my retirement and moving to St.
Lucia in the Caribbean. At that show my son was asked if he wanted to get his license that day. How is that possible? I also am trying to get another license here old call was J6LKP issued in In St. Working 4 yrs on that.
So how was the hamfest able to get youngsters a license in a short, non study time for my son.? You got me. To be sure that you pass the test at the end of the class, you really need to at least read through the study guide before you come to the class.
Dan, Years ago I became interested in ham radio and got the arrl tech manual. Misrable failure. I abandoned the idea for a while. I then came across your study guide which allowed me to comprehend the material. I took the tech test in early and got my call on my 15th birthday. Thank you for your amazing, easy to comprehend guides! Very cool, Dylan.
If you ever hear me on the air, please give me a call. After the class the exam was held and I passed the first time. In January I started taking a General license class he was teaching, but due to schedules and illness I was not able to continue the weekly classes. I did continue to use the General License exam study guide, and last weekend I took and passed the General License exam.
I consider myself very fortunate to have had Dan as a teacher. Awesome guides. Read twice through each the Technician and the General. Passed both tests today. Literally went from nothing 4 days ago to passing both tests. Did not look at anything else. After reading I just took each of the practice tests a couple of times to confirm I was ready. I found your book while searching for help in getting my general license.
I have been a ham since when I got my novice license. I got my technician shortly after that. I tried to pass another code test but could not send code to save me. I hope your book will help me get my general. I sometimes joke that my study guides are the only ones that come with Tech support.
If you have a question about any of the material, please feel free to contact me. Good luck on the test. If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to email me. Downloaded your technician PDF but noticed that page 44 and 45 are blank are they supposed to be? Thank you, Dan!!! I used your technician guide to study last year and found it great-I passed-purchased the general class guide recently and passed the exam today!
Thank you for a very easy-to-use and valuable study aid! And to the question up above that asks about pages 44 and 45, the answer is that nothing is missing, it is just that the index page is a bit off after page No problem. Thanks for offering a free PDF of the Technician class study guide. It got me passing the test today after just a few days of reading it in conjunction with free on-line practice tests. I just purchased the General license study guide because I really liked the Technician class study guide.
It really is a nonsense guide that teaches to the test, and does so clearly and concisely. Putting out freebies really can pay off as marketing :- Now just have to find out how many times harder the next test is going to be…. The General Class test is not an order of magnitude harder than the Tech test. And, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about any of the material. The guide was invaluable in studying for my Extra exam.
So much material to study, with very little logical grouping. The no-nonsense guide grouped related questions, and gave just enough background to tie things together. I combined this with other study methods, but reading it through 3 times got me to the point where the material was familiar. I passed the test today, missing only 4 questions! I wholeheartedly recommend these guides to help you get a handle on the material.
The guide was crucial in my success and i absolutely love the layout. Yes you can take practice tests on ARRL or via apps, but the design makes a huge difference. The critical part of knowledge transfer and then seeing related questions that will be on the test made me able to reason and understand what the answer should be instead of just memorizing the answer to the question.
Just purchased the guide for the General exam and look forward to diving in. Thank you so much for doing these. Thanks for this! Wondering if you every did complete a study guide for kids. Any resources you can point me to? Really enjoyed your Tech and General guides so far. Passed my General test last night.
Will be getting the Extra guide next! At the start of the Study guide, you have electron flow wrong. This error dates back to the very beginning, with Benjamin Franklin, who meant it to be as you said — but got it backwards.
In engineering, and in amateur radio, we use the convention that current flows from positive to negative. Dan, every chance I get I like to post your study guide information on the deal sites when ham radio equipment comes up.
