Best Books or Guides to Learning Ham Radio

[sawtooth4x4]

Okay, I've finally gotten the bug to get into Ham radio. I bought a couple Baofangs to get started. I'd like to take my test and get qualified in the next couple of months.

What is the best way to go about learning. I've been doing the practice tests online, but I don't feel like I'm really learning anything about how it works, channels, frequencies or anything helpful.

I looked at the Book Ham Radio's for Idiots. Is that a good book to get me going? Please help me!

Thanks

I used hamstudy.org, the flash cards make it easy.

The actual ARRL License Manual will not only give you the current questions and answers, but also lay out the material to help you comprehend it.

As an added bonus, you'll have a book on the shelf that you can refer to whenever you need. I still look at mine from time to time.
