Radio Theory Links
The table below has links to some of the many web sites containing information on radio theory.
The material in these sites would be of interest to existing radio experimenters and to those studying for the Radio Theory Exam.
Those studying for the exam should note that the range and complexity of topics covered in some of these sites is beyond the requirements of the HAREC Syllabus. Also, the regulations covered in the Irish exam are the Irish regulations, which can be found on ComReg's Experimenters Pages. Have a look at the Where do I Start? page for links to information about the HAREC Syllabus and the Radio Experimenter's Examination Course Guide published by IRTS.
