Upgrade to Amateur Extra and achieve the highest-level amateur radio license!

Work DX stations in the Extra class phone segments.
Enjoy all frequencies granted to amateur radio operators.
Expand your knowledge of advanced technical and operating activities.

The ARRL Extra Class License Manual includes everything you need to pass your Amateur Extra class exam (Element 4). The Extra class license is the highest of all three amateur radio licenses. To upgrade to Extra class, you must hold a General class license (or have recently passed the General license exam). Use this manual to pass the 50-question multiple-choice examination. Upgrading to Extra class is your ticket to every privilege granted to amateur radio operators — all frequencies, including 80-meter DX watering holes and exclusive portions of 40, 20, and 15 meters.

Every page presents information you will need to pass the exam and become an effective operator. Each chapter covers small sections:

Operating Practices
Rules and Regulations
Electrical Principles
Components and Building Blocks
Electronic Circuits
Radio Signals and Measurements
Radio Modes and Equipment
Antennas and Feed Lines
Topics in Radio Propagation
Safety

At the end of the book, you’ll find the entire question pool. Use this book with ARRL’s Online Exam Review for Ham Radio to take randomly generated practice tests using questions from the examination question pool.

Once you have successfully passed the exam, The ARRL Extra Class License Manual will serve as a valuable reference to the entire amateur frequency spectrum.

Also available:
