Welcome!
This site allows you to take practice tests in preparation for the United States Amateur Radio (Ham radio) and Commercial Radio licensing exams. The questions and answers used in these practice exams are the official questions provided by the FCC and are organized to mimic the actual written tests as closely as possible.
Please Note - While the Amateur Radio question pools are completely up to date, the commercial question pools are not, I am working on getting this sorted out.
Morse Code
Although the Morse Code requirement no longer exists for any of the amateur exams, we do have a Morse Code generator that can be quite handy for learning and practice. I have also started a 5wpm morse code podcast with daily headlines on a variety of topics.
Morse Code on your iPhone
If you have an Apple iPhone or iPod Touch then you can also download the HamMorse app from the Apple App Store and practice morse code whereever you may be! More...
