I passed my test for the Amateur Radio Technician license back in October. It took all of a few hours for me to get curious enough to dive deeper into the subject and start preparing for the General license.

Not wanting to just memorize the test bank, I hit Amazon in search of good reference material.

What I ended up purchasing was Radio Theory Handbook – Beginner to Advanced by Ron Bertrand.

After reading this, I went through Hamstudy.org and began preparing in ernest for the General. The book gave me the background I was looking for and I recommend it for others looking for more thorough explanations of the fundamentals.

Last night, December 26, 2024, via the Tennessee Valley Exam Team’s remote testing, I passed the General test and upgraded my license!
