A Fictional Journey Through the FCC Technician Question Pool — 2 Practice Exams Included
The ham radio Technician license opens up a world of emergency communications, satellite contact, local repeaters, and global shortwave communication. The FCC Technician exam draws from a published 426-question pool — so with the right preparation, passing is very achievable. Maxwell Pepper's Ham Radio License Study Guide follows Hertzlet, a curious young operator in the magical realm of Denmarkium, as he journeys through mysterious towers, enchanted circuits, and high-frequency kingdoms — learning the exact knowledge required to pass the General Class Amateur Radio License Exam while keeping you engaged from cover to cover.
Frequency, wavelength, power, and signal propagation — the physics behind how radio waves travel and why it matters for the exam.
FCC Part 97 rules for Technician class: frequency privileges, power limits, prohibited communications, and station identification.
Transceivers, antennas, feedlines, and accessories — what you need to get on the air and how each component works.
Ohm's Law, series and parallel circuits, AC vs. DC, and the basic electronics questions on the Technician exam.
RF exposure limits, tower climbing safety, electrical safety, and lightning protection — tested on every exam.
ARES, RACES, ARRL emergency procedures, and why amateur radio matters in disasters and emergencies.
Most ham radio study books read like electrical engineering textbooks. Hertzlet's journey through Denmarkium makes every concept visual and story-based. You encounter antenna theory by watching Hertzlet climb magical signal towers. You learn FCC regulations through the laws of the realm. The knowledge sticks because the story makes it real.
