With this book, you'll learn to: - Prep for and pass the FCC exam - Set up and organize your station - Communicate with people around the world - Tune into the latest tech, such as digital mode operating Whether you're looking to join a public service club or want the latest tips on the cutting edge of ham technology, this is the perfect reference for newbies and experts alike—and will keep you happily hamming for years!
