General Study Guide

A starter notebook for Logseq based on the General Class License question pool.

About

This notebook was created as a starting point for individuals who are studying for a General class amateur radio license in the United States. It utilizes Logseq, a personal knowledge management / note taking application to create flashcards out of notes. It was created by Chris Wall (AF0CX) and is free to use and modify.

Using

Check out the repository and add the subdirectory to Logseq. You can then use the flashcard functionality to study questions. The real benefit is using Logseq's tagging and linking functionality to create rich networks on related knowledge.

For example, if you find yourself stuck on the definition of a term such as "beacon" or wish to store notes on it, simply add double brackets around the word. From there, you can link to a page created for beacons and review the linked and unlinked matches at the bottom of the page. You can then enrich this page as you see fit through your studies. This is a framework for you to build on!

Final Notes

I used a variation of this as I studied for my re-licensing. That notebook has grown into a repository of knowledge for all things radio related. The ability to quickly move around and review data has greatly aided the fast acquisition of knowledge and made the hobby more enjoyable.
