5.0 out of 5 stars Explains the Terms and Language Encountered in Ham Test Questions
After passing the Technician and General exams in a short span of time I still ran across all sorts of terminology that I didn’t understand. This book is written by a ham radio operator and it gives a brief summary of most of the vocabulary, technical terms, communication protocols and the like that are present in the Technician and General exams. I checked a copy out from the library and decided that it was a book that was worth adding to my own collection. It covers everything from just being curious about ham radio to getting licensed to building up your first ham station; your “radio shack.”
5.0 out of 5 stars Ham radio help works great
Had a student who wanted to build a ham radio. I knew nothing about it and this book was awesome! Highly recommend anyone who is vaguely interested in anything to do with Ham radios to give this a read, great photos, great instructions!
4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of good information. Rather haphazard organization
I’m a newbie, so was looking for a ‘dummies’ format book that was very linear and started with basics. Its utility is limited in print form, since much of what you really want to know is to found following provided links. I felt there was not enough initially on basic stuff, jargon and acronyms, and too much listing clubs and organizations and talking about what people DO with HAM radio. I guess I’d sum it all up by saying that this is a great book if you want to know what HAM radio IS, but not so much if you want a clear, linear explanation of how HAM radio WORKS. Everyone’s learning style is different, so this review is even more subjective than most. But I appreciate the breadth of information and effort that the author put into it. Thus the 4***
5.0 out of 5 stars Text for school
I have seen the for dummies books for the past 20 years teaching every thing from Quantum Physics to basic computer theory and if it were not for the name I feel that they would be used in some of the university’s. The books tend to be better written and easier to understand the the text that are in use today. This is one that falls into that type of book Five Stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars Impressed!
I got this for a friend, and looking through it, I think this is likely the best one-stop hard copy resource for the deep rabbit hole of ham radio. It's impressively comprehensive, going beyond the basics for the license exam.
5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of essential information
I have to admit that I’m a sucker for these “For Dummies” books when it comes to a subject that I don’t know much about. The books are laid out so well that every page contains multiple important “nuggets” of information. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself halfway through the book and THEN you can claim to be an “EXPERT” (online anyway) in whichever subject you’ve selected!
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book
It’s a book…….. anything from Dummies is always good!
3.0 out of 5 stars Too technical
Wasn’t really what I was looking for.
Great information
Great book.
Written in simple form
After completing this book I had a better understanding of how to operate and it was worth every penny cap value for money
I failed but...
I failed my exam, but I will give it another go next year. No, this book will not help you pass your exam, but it will give you a lot of insight into the hobby with that top notch Dummies quality you've come to expect from the series.
Good book
This book is very informative loads of tips and answers a lot of questions
