Welcome to the General Class License Manual Web site!

This Web site is designed to provide additional information for you as you study for your General Class Amateur Radio license.

We assume that you are using the ARRL General Class License Manual as your textbook. Each of the sections on this Web site corresponds to a chapter in the book. Click on the chapter you’re reading and you’ll find a page containing all of the links referenced in the book plus some others that may be of interest!

You’ll especially want to check out the on-line exam practice sites (links can be found in the reference list for Chapter 1) to prepare for your FCC exam.
