content: Australian Ham radio lic Standard and Advanced reference books?Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my Aussie ham lic to advanced but the usual theory texts available seem overtly simplified and at times very hard to follow even if you know most of it anyway.Has anyone got a theory reference and/or text books dedicated to both standard and advanced grades?eg works by William I.

content: Not sure about the Australian license exams, but in the USA, each license class consists of something like 50 questions pulled from a pool of something like 300 questions.Some prospective hams never learn the theory behind the questions, but just learn the questions. Questions and answers are always exactly the same. If it’s a multiple choice and answer is C, then the answer to that question is always C.There are online practice tests that are helpful. You take a few online tests and soon figure out where you need to study.So, maybe there are similar practice tests in Australia. I suspect if the girl in the pic needed help studying for the exam, there would be lots of volunteers. That’s from Last Man Standing? Funny show, and showcased ham radio positively on a few episodes.

content: There's two main Australian-written texts people use. Both have almost identical names.1. Ron Bertrand's Radio Theory Handbook.My review here:This is backed by the Radio & Electronics School and a free course.https://res.net.au/2. Fred Swainston's Radio Theory Handbook.More expensive and seems to be harder to get.Author contact here:https://www.qrz.com/db/VK3DACAs you've possibly found, neither the WIA Foundation Manual nor my own Australian Ham Radio Handbook are either too basic or just concentrate on the operating side to be really useful here.

content: These 2 'out of print' ebooks cover almost everything 'radio' I should need in understandable detail and are great references where no obvious ones seem to exist:LinkLinkhttps://archive.org/details/win-7-pro-32-64-iso
