Customer Reviews

Great Study Guide!!!

I was able to read this book once, went back and reviewed the day of the test and past my first time! I highly suggest it.

Exceptional Help from a General

Interesting, organized and well thought-out, the Ham guide book for the General Class license by Gordon West was a big help for me. Since I have not had a Ham license for 53 years, I really needed help. West's book made the General Class Exam relatively easy. I was so pleased with the General Class book that I also purchased his Extra Class license book and quickly passed that Ham exam. As a writer of technical subjects as well as novels, I know when a writing job is well done. Put me down as a very satisfied customer--Thomas S. Fiske, KI6OBL

Gordon West scores another one!

This review may be a moot point by the time anyone is ready to purchase this book because June 30th, 2007 this book expires due to the new FCC Question Pool begining July 1st, 2007. However, having taken my Technician Class License & now my General Class License I used both of Gordon West's books, I scored 100% on both tests!! The things I liked most about the book are the explanations for each answer, this helps you learn the material & not just memorizing answers. This also helps you on the test. In addition, he points out alot of useful resources to the "new HAM" through out his book. If you take advantage of getting his "certificate" personally signed, He includes ICOM's "Band Plan" Charts for both VHF/UHF. Another for HF & the US "grid Square map" all on heavy gloss card stock. Very Nice. In addition, a coupon for discounts on ICOM gear. (Which I personally took advantage of) Plus some other material. I'm sure his new book for General Class will be equally as good. I know I'm going to purchase his Extra Class book next. His books are all you need. He scores another home run.

Excellent Study Guide

If you want to know what is on the test, and get an entertaining explination of the topic, this is the perfect book. Gordon West does an excellent job in keeping a flow to the information you will need to pass the General FCC License element 3 test. It is the best, bar none!! I recommend this book highly, a must have.

Good study guide - passed my test !

WN6NOA's book is a collection of the Element 3 questions. reorganized but in a logical manner for learning. Gordon West also keeps some humor along the way and lists a lot of useful websites. I passed my US Amateur Radio Element 3 written test using this book and recommend it highly. It is faster and much less boring than the ARRL book (I have both)! Study and Upgrade !!!
