Sorry, forgot to include that the class is free (zip, nada, nothing) with
the exception of the books that I will recommend. The exam at the end is
whatever the local examining group is getting for the exams. I get
absolutely nothing for the class with the exception of the satisfaction of
minting new hams.

This is strictly a learning experience for me before I refine it and
convince my college to offer it for college credit.

I'm about two weeks away from launching an online ham radio class. I've
selected a lot of good sites with excellent study aids, but I'm having
trouble selecting an optional text for the class(es). I'm teaching all
three grades (Tech, Gen, & Extra) from the same website.

I've researched the Gordon West series, the ARRL series, and a few others.
I'm open to any recommendations from you all as to which one YOU find the
easiest to learn from. Basically, I'm "teaching to the test" and what I
really need is a book with the EXPLANATIONS as to why a particular answer
is "correct".

At one time I used Tony Lacy's "Nutest" series, but I find the
explanations sadly lacking in detail.

As I said, suggestions certainly appreciated. As this class can be taken
by anybody with internet access anywhere in the world, a series that is
available from Amazon or other online bookstore would be most useful.
