Thorough and very well structured. Highly recommend

I’ve used each book in this series to take and pass each of the licensing exams. Each book does an excellent job presenting the material in a manner that is understandable and rememberable. The biggest “perk” or “advantage” this series offers is access to the online chapter tests, progress checks, and practice exams. These are extremely helpful.

Burnette does a masterful job of making the mundane memorable. This book is purpose built to help you pass your extra class ham radio exam, and it delivers. This may not be the appropriate learning style for some readers, but for me it works well.

Michael has a great way of keeping your attention & keeping you interested in the material. I used his books on Kindle as guides for my tests and I passed the Extra in March of 2022. Not bad for a 71 year old man>>>
