About this Course

Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service in which participants called "hams" use various types of radio equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for recreation and public service. This course covers all of Element 2 of the FCC Amateur Radio Service materials. Participants will be fully prepared to take the Technician Class licensing exam, which will be administered at the end of day two. There is a $15 exam fee payable on the second day (exact cash preferred but checks are also accepted). Instructions for purchasing the textbook ($20.95 plus tax) online before the class will be sent upon registration. After passing the exam, you will submit a $35 fee to the FCC, who will issue your license.
