+# 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 Technican class amateur radio license in the United States. It utilizes
+[Logseq](https://logseq.com), 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](https://docs.logseq.com/#/page/flashcards) 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. 
+
+If you find this useful, you can let me know via email (chris @ my callsign dot org)
