Description: This Technician Amateur Radio Ham License Manual uses 59 cartoon characters, including the 26 'Phoneticos', whose bodies are Morse code electromagnetic waves, to prepare the reader for the FCC Technician Amateur Radio license examination. The names of the Phoneticos come from the International Phonetic Alphabet, used in communications. The author, K6YB, was licensed as a General Class Radio Amateur in 1947, at age 13. Ham radio led to a career in engineering, and a lifetime hobby. The author is also a licensed Calfornia Professional Electrical Engineer. The book is used by the author in Los Angeles area school &amp; community ham radio classes.
