This is really all you need to get started. I was 14 when I first got my license - I used an earlier iteration of this book to self study. It’s really straightforward. Feel free to email with any questions! Always glad to help people get started in ham radio.
- curiousfab 6y agoI will additionally suggest the "ARRL Handbook" (there's a new edition every year - mine was 2001 and I guess there is no need to get the latest one), from which I learned everything about electronics, antennas and radio propagation during my high school years. It not only enabled me to build and experiment with ham radio transceivers, but also gave me quite a head start into my university studies of EE.
- cweagans 6y agoARRL Handbook is great, but I would suggest picking it up after someone has their license. Personally, I found it really frustrating to have a gigantic book full of interesting things that I wasn’t legally allowed to do - it was a much better book after I had my license :)
