This class gives you everything you need to pass the written examination for a Technician class amateur radio license. On the last day, you’ll take the exam – if you pass, you’ll leave as a licensed ham radio operator! Technician class is the entry-level amateur operator/primary station license issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). No prior experience is needed, and there is no minimum (or maximum) age limit. Here are just a few of the things you can do with a Technician class license: * Talk with other hams all over the world * Operate your own ham radio position-reporting system (APRS) * Communicate with satellites and the International Space Station (ISS) * Send and receive digital communications through your computer * Operate through local repeater systems * Operate ham radio television and computer radio photos (ATV and SSTV) * Perform community service as a ham radio responder Absolutely no Morse code test is required for the Technician class license. There is no charge for this course – just pay $20 for the study book and class materials, and the $15 examination fee. Pre-registration is required. The registration deadline is January 6. To register, or to get more information, contact Keith Tilley, (845) 687-9951, [email protected]. There is a pre-class study assignment - register early so you have plenty of time to prepare! -- /** ** Joe Apuzzo ** Call Sign: KD2AKU ** PGP/GPG: pub key ID BB5C7 **/
