Upcoming Classes
We schedule classes as there is demand, generally once per year. If you do not see a future class you can make, or there are no future classes, please sign-up as interested here.
Technician Classes are the entry level class for unlicensed persons with no prior radio experience. General is the second level, and class participants are expected to be familiar with the material from the Technician Class.
