Weekend Technician Class

The Aeronautical Center Amateur Radio Club, W5PAA, will be providing a weekend Technician class course that will run April 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th, with an exam to be given on April the 28th. 


These four Saturday courses will begin at 8 AM and run until 4 PM, with a one hour break for lunch. The course will be sited at the Oklahoma City Fire Training Academy, at 800 N. Portland, with parking in the east parking lot. 


The course text will be the ARRL's "Ham Radio Licensing Course", second edition. If you have a book already, you are set to go. If not, email the instructor, so you will have a book at the first meeting. The cost of the book is $30.00 which includes a practice exam CD and all the pool questions. You do not have to have the CD, however, to study. The only other thing you will need to pay for will be the FCC exam itself, which is $15.00, payable at the April 28th final session.

This format was used one year ago in a trial run, and found to be very successful in training both technical and non-technical folks.

Technician Class in #AltusOK

 April 16 is the first day of instruction for the amateur
radio class to be held at the Emergency Operations Center, 1915 N
Main, according to Dale Town, N5VX, class instructor.

The class begins at 6 p.m. each Monday and Tuesday for six weeks.  

Using instructional material from the American Radio Relay League,
students should be able to pass a Technician level exam.

The class is free.  However, students will be required to pay for a
license exam and obtain study material.

Because seating is limited, students are asked to register for the
class at altushams.eventbrite.com.  Students may order their books
online at http://www.arrl.org/shop/Licensing-Education-and-Training/
while there will be limited quantities available on the first night of
class.

The class is sponsored by the Altus Skywarn Association and the Altus
Area Amateur Radio Association in partnership with the City of Altus
Emergency Management.

For more information, one may call Town at (580) 477-4027 or visit
