Technician Class License — Concept Reference Catalog
A study companion for the 2022–2026 NCVEC Technician (FCC Element 2) question pool.
The official question pool lists 411 questions and their correct answers, but it does not teach anything — it assumes you either already understand the material or will memorize the answers. This catalog fills that gap.
The exam is 35 questions — one drawn from each of the 35 groups. Pass mark is 26 correct (74%).

This is an independent study aid. It is not affiliated with the FCC, NCVEC, or ARRL. It was generated with Claude as an experiment in “is it possible”, not warranted until I pass the exam :)
