Memorizing answers is hard. Learning is easy! The Fast Track to Your Technician Ham Radio License explains the reasoning and technology behind each correct answer on the Amateur Radio exam so you'll understand and remember the subject matter.
It's a complete learning system; books, audio, and the fasttrack.com web site with custom-made practice exams that integrate with the chapters in the book and audiobook. There are also teaching videos on the site.

Created by an experienced ham and adult educator, it's like having your own, patient, experienced, good-humored mentor for the exam.
Technician is the entry-level ham radio license that lets you operate on all ham channels from 30 MHz up, which includes the very popular VHF and UHF bands. To get your license you must pass a multiple-choice test.
The Technician license test consists of 35 questions drawn from a pool of 400. Memorizing the answers to 400 questions is difficult, but The Fast Track makes getting your license easy by explaining the logic behind each correct answer, and by arranging the questions so they form a logical progression toward mastery of the material.
It's simple: When you understand the subjects, 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.

He is a frequent presenter at major hamfests.Rave reviews for The Fast Track Ham License series: "This is a great book. So many of the study guides are just question dumps and it's a horrible way to learn, at least for me. I need an explanation and something to keep my interest and Mr. Burnette's book fit the bill perfectly.""Michael Burnette's ham radio exam prep book is the most useful and comprehensive book that I have found on this subject and makes getting ready for this exam not only easy, but fun. I have learned so much since studying this guide and fell ready to take this exam at a moment's notice.""Thank you! Thank you a thousand times over. I bought your book in order to study for my tech license, and the audiobook and I loved them!""I have now purchased approx 8 books on this specific subject. Not to include wasted many months of 'trying to understand'. After all of that, this ended up being the only book I really needed for Technician!!!!"
