Technician Licensing class beginning

Warrick ARES/RACES

We will be offering a FCC Technician Licensing class beginning February 2nd, 2012 running through March 30th at First Christian Church in Newburgh, at Hwy 261 and Outer Lincoln The weekly Thursday night classes will go from 6:30-8:30 PM.

The class will cover all required material to pass the 35 question FCC exam, plus considerably more to help a new Ham get started. The FCC exam will be given the Saturday following the last class at the Red Cross in Evansville. The exam fee is $15.

We will be using the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual Revised 2nd Edition. W/CD published Nov 2010. You will need this manual at the first class. You may purchase it yourself or contact me. Price is around $24.

All the primary instructors for the class hold Amateur Extra Licenses and our previous class of 18 students had a 100% pass rate on the FCC exam.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
