The Station Build & Antenna Planner
Cut the antenna once, feed it properly, and keep the RF exposure record the FCC expects, all from your own measurements instead of a half-remembered number from a forum thread.

- 2 filled-in examples and a companion spreadsheet
- Online buyer guide with 3 priced complete station builds
Replaces the sticky note with your antenna lengths, the forum thread you cannot find again, and the RF exposure evaluation you meant to do and never wrote down.

- A newly licensed Technician building a first station who does not want to buy anything twice
- Anyone about to put up a wire or vertical antenna and wanting the cut lengths and the safety survey in one place
- A station that has never had a documented RF exposure evaluation, which the FCC requires regardless of power
- Anyone who wants their station's numbers, budget and log in one place instead of scattered across a notebook, a forum bookmark and memory

Questions
How do I get it?
Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print as many copies as your station and your logbook need, every season.
Does this replace the FCC exam study material?
No. The licence study tracker is a progress log, not a question pool. Pair it with a manual such as the ARRL license manual for your class.
Is the RF exposure worksheet actually required?
The evaluation is required by the FCC of every amateur station, with no exemption by power level. This worksheet is a researched aid to doing your own evaluation and record-keeping; it is not legal advice or a certification.
What if it is not what I expected?
Use the whole kit. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
