A Note About SELF-STUDY LINKS FOR ALL LICENSE LEVELS
The web is packed with many useful (and sometimes not-so-useful) resources for ham license self-study. Most resources are free, or free with registration. There are also many sites that provide basically the same services for a small fee. The question pools for each license level are updated periodically, so when browsing the internet for resources be sure that the information you obtain is up-to-date.
