For anybody who might be interested in Amateur Radio ... Rol is on the committee that actually writes the questions for the exams. He's a great teacher, I think, and I had a lot of fun attending his classes. I did this Technician class (the first level), and then the General class (the intermediate level), and then the Extra class (the advanced level). This might be a fun way to learn about practical applications of engineering versus pure "book learning."
You'll need a copy of the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual (softcover). The classes work basically one chapter at a time from cover to cover, at the end of which you'll be ready for the exam. Each level is a new license, and opens additional frequencies and communication modes to the operator. I see that the new edition of the book just came out. New pool of questions started July 1. Same pool of questions will run through June 30, 2026. The class is a Zoom meeting once per week around 7 pm Eastern time, if I recall. Book is about $33. The class is free. He typically also teaches morse code for about a 1/2 hour each week at 6:30, if you're interested. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Aug 8, 2022 at 10:45 AM Subject: Please publicize Free, Zoom Technician Licensing Course starting Sept 8 To: <[email protected]> Folks: We’re starting a Technician Licensing Class on Sept 8.
