The Beginner’s Handbook of Amateur Radio

Welcome to the world of amateur radio! We (the term “we” applies not only to myself, but to all the pioneering hams who helped to make amateur radio available to everyone) prepared this book with two major objectives in mind. First, we want to introduce you to the exciting world of amateur radio, one of the most interesting and challenging hobbies available today.

Once you’re hooked, our second objective is help prepare you for the FCC Technician Class license examinations, including both theory and Morse code. There is also another important objective: enticing the many dedicated electronics and computer experimenters, technicians, engineers, and serious CB enthusiasts throughout the country to join the ranks of amateur radio operators.
