Update: Next session is August 31. We will review the electromagnetic spectrum and antennas, then discuss FCC Rules and good operating procedures. It is NOT too late to join the class.

This class is in person, but a Zoom link is also available: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89078030674?pwd=kCxqFCnzOBFbxUctWIXY7ouWYhLK1E.1

Interested in getting your amateur radio license? We’re here to help.

Classes will be on Saturday afternoons at irregular intervals, 1pm to 4pm. The first session will be on August 3, and the next on August 17. Additional sessions will be scheduled as I’m able.

Each session will have a main subject, but will be informal and not highly structured. The first session will be an introduction, so we will talk about what amateur radio is and isn’t, what’s required to get a license, study resources, practice tests, and maybe actually touch a radio.

Later sessions will explore technical subjects, FCC rules, good operating procedures, and so on. You don’t have to come to every session, but it would be helpful for me to know who to expect. I will post upcoming sessions on the website at n7oy.org and email everyone on my roster.

Please respond by email to choirboy1953 at gmail dot com if you want to be included. You can still participate even if you can’t make it to all the sessions.
