Plain-English Study Guide for the FCC Marine Radio Operator Permit

This is a study guide to help you pass the FCC exam for the Marine Radio Operator Permit (MROP). This is the license required for radio operators aboard certain vessels that sail the Great Lakes, and vessels of more than 300 gross tons and vessels which carry more than six passengers for hire in the open sea or any tidewater area of the United States. The material is broken down by subject into individual chapters, some of which are quite short. At the conclusion of each chapter are the actual questions that will be on the FCC exam. Persons with some background in marine radio communications will have little difficulty passing the test simply by reading this book once. Even if you have no background in the material, this guide will give you all the information required to pass the test, and you will be able to pass the test after a few evenings of studying this guide.
