~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What this class is:
- Guided study session taught by experienced instructors and followed immediately by an FCC-approved Technician License Exam
- A “license to learn” and an ideal way to get started with Ham Radio – you’ll be able to get “on the air” as soon as your information is recorded in the FCC’s online database (typically within 7-10 days)
- Open to all ages – provided you’re committed to studying hard and working through the material
What this class isn’t:
- A course that will teach you everything you need to know to get started in the Ham Radio hobby
- A series of long lectures over several weeks that will eat up a lot of time
Who should take this class?
- Individuals interested in experimenting with radio technology
- Individuals who want to learn more about how radio works
- Individuals looking to better prepare for emergencies
- Individuals who want to help the community by volunteering to provide communications support for public events
