Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is an exciting hobby with many opportunities. Talk to folks around town or around the world. You can also server your community by becoming a severe weather spotter or by providing communications during local special events such as the 500 parade and mini marathon, no Morse code required. Earning your technician class license is the first step to exploring all that ham radio has to offer.
The Mid-State Amateur Radio Club is offering a 1 day class on Saturday, February 11th, 2012 from 8a.m. to 4p.m. Testing will begin at 4pm. The class is free with lunch provided. Students are recommended to pre-purchase the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual and pre-register. This will be a condensed class and we recommend students study the material before the class. Books are available for purchase for $29.95 at www.arrl.org, testing is $15.00.
