Is the 2001 ARRL Extra Class License Manual still sufficient for taking

The effectivity dates for the current Extra question pool a July 1, 2002
until June 30, 2008.

Thank you, Dee. Correction noted. I took and passed all
three on 25 Feb 07 so I guess my memory just crossed
it out on effective dates of exams. :-)
