Ham Radio Class & Exam
This course provides two-day, no-nonsense (ok, maybe a little) course targeted on passing the exam required to obtain your first ham radio license. We’ll cover radio theory, electrical math, and FCC regulations. You’ll need a way (smart phone, laptop, tablet, etc.) to access email and websites (particularly HamStudy.org and noji.com/hamradio) during class. A license exam session will be provided on the third day
