Old Barney Licensing Class
Based upon our success from the last two "Ham Cram" we are holding another Technician Cram session in the early fall. The session begins at 8 AM at the Ocean Acres Community Center which is the same location we hold the meetings.
A VE session is held around 4 in the afternoon to administer the FCC test. Come at 8 AM with a little studying and a lot of desire and leave in the afternoon with an FCC issued Amateur Technician Class license.
We send study material about 10 days before the "Cram."
There is no longer a code requirement for obtaining a ham license.
If you have any interest in taking this class, please let us know by using our Feedback Form or call Urb, W2DEC at 609-296-57856.
There is a $15 fee to take the class. Lunch and study materials are included. The fee is waived for anyone 18 or under but you must register.
We will also be running a General Cram in the near futures. Let us know if you're interested in a General class.
