As you may be aware Coax Publications has discontinued operations. Their website states:
“There is no longer any plan to produce a new, 10th edition of the Basic Study Guide. The 9th edition is now sold out but some copies may be available through our retail partners.
The Advanced Qualification Study Guide is still up to date and will remain on sale through our web site so long as supplies last. We expect that there is enough stock to last through the spring, 2026, classroom season. It is also in stock at some of our retailers.”
The Hamstudy Basic2026 study guide is now available in printed form on their website. If you prefer to learn from a book instead of online, order your copy directly from Amazon.
The Radio Amateurs of Canada website (www.rac.ca) is the best source for information about Amateur Radio on the Web. This is also where you can be directed to a list of Accredited Examiners for your area.
Amateur Radio Basic and Advanced Qualification courses are now being provided both online and in person. We are pleased to include information about any courses provided by Canadian Amateur Radio Clubs on our Amateur Radio Courses webpage.
