Publisher's summary

If you've made the decision to open up your ham radio world by going for the general class license, use the program used by thousands of hams to get and upgrade their ham licenses!

The Fast Track to Your General Class Ham Radio License explains the reasoning and theory behind each correct answer on the general class exam so you'll understand and remember the subject matter.

Created by an experienced ham and adult educator, it's like having your own, patient, experienced, good-humored mentor for the exam.

To get your general class license you must pass a multiple-choice test. The general license test consists of 35 questions drawn from a pool of 462. Memorizing the answers to 462 disconnected questions is difficult, but The Fast Track makes getting your upgrade easier by explaining the logic behind each correct answer. It's simple: When you understand the material, and you have a context for the material, you remember the answers and pass the test.

Best of all, once you've passed your exam you'll have a solid grounding in ham radio basics.

  • Includes every possible question and every answer - All technical topics explained in clear, plain language, often with illustrations
  • Step-by-step instructions to solve all the math problems
  • Proven study and test taking strategies
  • Hints to easily solve many questions and avoid the traps in the test
  • Written in "learning order", not just the (confusing) order of the official question bank.

Awesome, best and most engaging narration

I got my Technician ticket with this audio book (I actually heard dings while taking the test. lol) and Obviously I’m going for my General.

I highly recommend getting the written digital version and following along as he reads, the images mentioned are extremely helpful in understanding the discussion.

Makes Learning SO EASY

Humor with clear and concise explanations make this guy's teaching easy to follow and absorb. And, for a bad reader like myself who likes to multitask, the audio format is invaluable.

Clear Concise and Fat Free

This is an excellent book. It covers all the stuff you need to know to pass the General exam and a few carefully chosen extra safety items. This is pure gold.

Excellent!

I used the Fast Track audio books (in conjunction with a free practice test app) for both my tech & for my general. A successful combination both times!
I really appreciate that Michael explains the answers in detail. He not only explains why the right answers are correct, but why the wrong ones are wrong. I found this very helpful & I learned a lot.
Thank you!

excellent book, but audible got the chapters wrong

the audible placemarks for chapters are in the wrong location making it difficult to go back and study specific chapters. I'd still say it's worth it though the book is excellent but if you are able to find it somewhere other than audible I would recommend that.

Great info while on the Go

I have the book to study from while at home and listen to this podcast while driving, waiting on appointments, or have time to kill. Listening to this over and over again had finally help me pass my General license exam. Already purchased the Extra audible and will start listening to it for a while to help retain the information until I take and pass that class too. Great information. Easy to understand, clear and too the point.
