The news is full of disturbing events today. There's war and rumors of war. There's the false recovery of the economy. Faith in the US economy is extremely low. Foreign banks have either slowed their purchases of Treasury Bonds or, in a few cases, begun unloading them. We have a current election that is rife with corruption, extreme partisanship, and outright fraud. It would appear the left in the country is ready to do about anything to see their candidate elected.

Fantastic study guide
Any additional comments?
Using this audio book, and maybe 1 hour of reviewing the Schematic Diagrams and some math practice questions, I was obtaining 33 out of 35 scores on practice exams. (well above passing at 26)
I actually didn't think I was learning all that much while going through the audiobook, but when it came time to take the exams, the answers literally popped out at me, because Michael Burnette did an excellent job at mentioning the keywords you need to remember.
And I feel for a 7-hour audiobook, Michael really dove into topics as deep as he could without requiring the time and patience of a college diploma.
If you listen for an hour per day, you can pass the Technician Exam in a week.

This audiobook is very well done! Excellent narration, great content and very entertaining. I just passed my Technician's exam using nothing but this audiobook and the practice exams on the ARRL website. I especially like that the author explains the correct answers so you're not just memorizing.
Hoping Mr. Burnette does finish a General Class study guide next.

Way easier than reading the ARRL exam manual!
Would you listen to The Fast Track to Your Technician Class Ham Radio License again? Why?
Fast Track is a very appropriate title, because that's exactly what it did! I was really lagging trying to get myself motivated to get through the very academic ARRL technician exam manual in a timely fashion, so I listened to this book during my daily commute over the span of a week or so. That combined with the online practice exams allowed me to ace the test, and I mean that literally with a score of 100%! He covers every single question from the question pool and goes into a brief explanation of each answer. Very highly recommended.
Any additional comments?
I only wish Michael Burnette published a book for General class!

Well explained and excellent narration.
I'm studying for my UK amateur licence but managed to pick up a lot of info from this as it's of course universal principles, if not the same legal rules.
I found the narrator kept my attention well and I've enjoyed listening to this in the car and whilst I work. I would love some extra follow up books on the other levels or concentrating on specific areas such as antenna design or radio theory.
Many thanks!
