Classes will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 28 and May 5 with a class review and FCC testing from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 12.
I will conduct an optional Ham Radio Open House and Demo from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 14. We will demonstrate ham radio equipment and you can attend and leave at any time.
We will give you an opportunity to transmit on a ham radio. This is completely legal under third party transmission rules where you are supervised by a licensed ham.
We will demonstrate Echolink, handheld radios and a mobile base station. We will have one of our emergency go box ham radios so you can see that setup.
The open house and classes will be held in the Trilogy Sports Club Center for Well-Being Room, 24491 Trilogy Parkway. That’s the second building on the left when you drive up The Lodge roadway.
Instructor notes will be provided to students prior to class or you can bring an iPad or other device to view the notes electronically.
The good news is the training is FREE and the only charge is $15 for the FCC test. Registration is open, but we have limited class capacity.
Receipt of your $15 fee is the guarantee for your seat in the class.
Immediately after receiving confirmation of your $15 fee, we will send you the class notes so you can start studying.
