Element 4 Study Materials, 2008 Versions

These study aids have been updated for the new Extra Class question pool that went into effect on July 1, 2008.

I designed these documents as aids for reviewing the exam questions. I strongly encourage you to study the theory first, then review the questions. I highly recommend The ARRL Extra Class License Manual and Gordon West’s Extra Class FCC License Preparation for Element 4. Both of these publications were of great help to me in preparing for my Amateur Extra Class exam.

Can you pass the exam without studying the theory? Yes. Should you? No! Please be a good HAM and learn all you can about this wonderful hobby.
