Amateur Extra Practice Test

The rules that separate Extra from General: the exclusive sub-bands on 80m, 40m, 20m, and 15m, VE program mechanics, and the FCC procedures a General-class study guide never had to cover in depth.

Study E1 →

Advanced operating: image and digital modes, television and data protocols, EME and meteor scatter, and the specialized techniques that separate an Extra-class operator from a general HF user.

Study E2 →

Propagation at the level that explains, not just describes: ionospheric layers, ray paths, scatter modes, and the physics behind why a band opens or closes when it does.

Study E3 →

Station practices at a higher technical bar: advanced test equipment, interference troubleshooting, and the operating disciplines that come with running a more capable HF and VHF/UHF station.

Study E4 →

Electrical principles pushed further than General: complex impedance, resonant circuits under real loads, and the network math a serious builder or experimenter actually needs.

Study E5 →

Components in real depth: semiconductor physics, integrated circuits, digital logic, and the device characteristics that matter when you are designing, not just identifying, a circuit.

Study E6 →

The largest subelement in the pool: filters, oscillators, digital and RF circuits, power supplies, and reading a schematic well enough to say what every stage actually does.

Study E7 →

Signals and emissions in technical detail: modulation math, digital signal characteristics, and the spectral behavior that determines how a signal actually occupies its bandwidth.

Study E8 →

Antenna and feed line theory at its deepest: gain, directivity, matching networks, and the transmission-line math that explains why a real antenna system behaves the way it measures.

Study E9 →

Safety at the top of the license structure: high-power RF exposure evaluation, tower and antenna work, and the hazards that scale with the most capable station privileges the FCC allows.
