Club Training Information:
On
February 23rd 2007 the F.C.C. Dropped the morse code requirement from
any of the three Amateur Radio licenses. This means you no longer
are required to learn morse code, at all, period. It is no longer
a requirement
The Northwest Ohio Amateur Radio Club conducts
training every Monday night at Radio Hospital located at 610 North
Main Street.
The classes cover the necessary FCC rules &
regulations, electronic theory, operating practices for
the Technician Class Amateur Radio License. The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual publication will be used as the study guide, and should
be purchased before the class starts. The cost of the book is around $24.95,
plus tax and shipping. You can order the text directly from the American Radio
Relay League (1-888-277-5289). You can also order the text from your local
Radio Shack or your favorite book store.
The specific objective of these classes is
to promote interest in Amateur Radio, and strengthen the emergency
response capabilities of the Northwest Ohio Amateur Radio
Club. Even if you're not interested in emergency response
communications, and just want to get an amateur radio license, or are
intrigued by how radios work, you are more than welcome to attend the
classes.
The training will be geared toward the entry-level
Technician class amateur radio license, which has no Morse Code requirement.
The classes are open to the public, and are free of
charge.
The Technician class license examination consists of 35
questions, and a 75% score or better is the passing grade. You can also find
the entire Technician class question pool, and associated diagrams further down
the page.
There is a testing fee of $14 at the conclusion of the
training, to cover the costs of examination materials and postage for sending in
the results. Attendees will be able to sit for an exam at the next regular
testing session. Information on testing sessions can be
found here.
Good Luck from all of us, on passing your exam and
getting your "ticket."
