ExHAMiner Software
This is a very good exam practice tool written by François Daigneault, VE2AAY for RAC. (Shameless plug: This is one more reason to join RAC.) Note that you must download both the program and the Basic question bank.This latest version now includes the Advanced question bank.
ExHAMiner tip: Once you've chosen the Basic question bank, choose Tools/Selection by Lesson from the menu. Click on the topics you want to review. This latest version will default to asking you all possible questions from each selected topic. Review them all and makes notes of your problem areas. You can select "Seek unanswered or incorrect" to focus on your previous problem area.

- A good online electronics course: This course nicely covers much of the electronics material we are learning.
- Baluns: This is additional reading, but quite useful if you want to understand baluns when building your antennas.
