Amateur Radio exam 'Apps' for iTunes

Apps are now available for the iPhone and iTouch to help candidates study for their US Amateur Radio licenses

The Apps are aimed at the 3 levels of USA license - Technician, General and Extra (the UK equivalents are Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced/Full).

Exams in the USA differ from the UK in that all the exam questions and answers are freely available.

The ARRL is pleased to announce the availability of a new suite of Amateur Radio mobile software - designed specifically for use with the Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch.

The applications - or 'apps' - are named ARRL Technician<http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=304482342&mt=8>, ARRL General<http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=306443425&mt=8> and ARRL Extra<http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=306931606&mt=8> and function as an electronic version of practice exam flash cards.

Amateur Radio exam candidates can use the applications as a study companion to the ARRL license manuals<http://www.arrl.org/catalog/lm/> and classroom instruction. The apps include all the possible questions and answers that will be on each of the license tests. Users can flag questions that need more review, segment questions for study by sub-element, or even study the questions in a random order.

The ARRL apps are produced and sold by McSnyder Software who has partnered with ARRL to provide the iPhone app series. McSnyder has also produced study applications for other organizations -- including exam preparation software for standardized educational testing in Texas, as well as US Citizenship immigration testing.

"We are excited to introduce Amateur Radio and ARRL into the rapidly expanding mobile and portable technology arena," said ARRL Marketing Manager Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R.

"Not only do these applications demonstrate ARRL's commitment to users of these popular devices, the software helps promote Amateur Radio outside of our traditional publication channels."

The ARRL apps are available for $1.99 each on Apple's iTunes "App Store."
