General License Upgrade Class

The General Class license is the second of three US Amateur Radio licenses. To upgrade to General Class, you must already hold a Technician Class license (or have passed the Technician license exam within the past 365 days). Upgrading to a General license--which conveys extensive HF privileges—only requires passing a written examination; Morse Code no longer required. Once you do, the entire range of operating modes and the majority of the amateur spectrum below 30 MHz become available to you. Textbook required, General Class License Manual 10th Edition (ISBN 978-1-62595-171-7) $32.95   Buy from the ARRL
