Amateur radio class being offered during Hamvention

Hamvention will run May 19-21.

The amateur radio class will be offered on site on Saturday, May 20. Students who pass the final exam can buy and operate their own amateur radio station.

All amateur radio operators are required to have a license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to operate a transmitter.

Obtaining a license requires learning the rules, procedures, and basic communications practices related to operating a transmitter.

The class requires registration, which can be done at www.hamclass.net or contacting the instructor directly at w1sj@arrl.net or calling 800-639-1766.
