Amateur Radio License Classes

Get Your License!

Amateur radio (sometimes known as "ham radio") is a great hobby. As an amateur radio operator, you can talk with other amateurs around the world, help with emergency communications during disasters, talk with astronauts, send television pictures, build your equipment, and much, much more.

You do, however, need a license to do all this. ARROW can help. We sponsor both Technician Class and General Class license courses.

Technician Class License
The next Technician license class will sometime in September. At the end of this class, you should know enough to successfully pass the Technician class license exam. The fee is nominal, and includes the text and the exam fee. For more information go to the Tech Class Information Page.

General Class License
The next General license class will start Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Dan, KB6NU, will teach the class. Where we will hold the class has not yet been set, but it will be somewhere in the Ann Arbor area.

We'll meet from 7pm to 9pm each Tuesday evening for eight to ten weeks. The class will cover all of the theory and regulations needed to pass the General Class license test. The question pool changed last June, so we will be covering some new material this year. And even though, there is no longer a Morse Code test, Dan will happily help you learn the code, should you so desire.

There is no fee for the course, but you will have to purchase (or at least want to purchase) a copy of the ARRL General Class License Manual. We will order several copies, and they will be available for sale at the first class. For more information, contact KB6NU, at 734-930-6564 or by e-mail.
