Week 2 of License Preparation Course

All information on the course and log-i requirements are found at:

[A Ham Radio Technician Class Exam Prep Course – K9ACM.net](https://k9acm.net/tech-course/)

While there are many resources available to help you with your studies, we recommend the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual: Level 1, Technician 4th Edition. This is the de facto resource to prepare for the exam. The video series is organized around this book, section-by-section, and a common book will make for a smoother class experience. You can get yours from the ARRL here: [ARRL Ham Radio License Manual 4th Edition](http://www.arrl.org/shop/Ham-Radio-License-Manual/).
