The ARRL Extra Class License Manual
All You Need To Pass Your Extra Class Exam!
The ARRL Extra Class License Manual is your ticket to every privilege granted to Amateur Radio Operators. Our expert instruction will lead you through all of the knowledge you need to pass the exam: rules, specific operating skills and more advanced electronics theory. As an Extra Class licensee, you will have full privileges on all frequencies authorized by the FCC for Amateur Radio. To upgrade to Extra Class you must already hold a General Class license (or have recently passed all of the exams required for a General Class license). Upgrading to an Extra license only requires passing a written examination.

Radio Signals and Measurements
Radio Modes and Equipment
Antennas and Feed Lines
Topics in Radio Propagation

I read and enjoyed it, but I would not have passed the test without also putting in a lot of practice on hamstudy.org. Yes, there are questions included in the book, but flipping back and forth breaks your concentration. I am so glad I read this book, though; for some reason I thought myself incapable of learning this material amd passing the test.

Very good book to prepare for the Extra Amateur Radio exam. Actually, even when you're finished reading it, this book is a handy one to keep as a reference. I'm glad that I got the spiral wound version and I recommend this book.

This is a very thorough book. It doesn't fit in your hand, but more of a college text book size. I did pass my test using this book, but there are more readable books.
