Bellevue Amateur Radio Club

2008 Amateur Radio Licensing Class

If you've been looking for a new hobby, one both challenging and fun, Amateur Radio may be for you!  Although an FCC license is required, the members of the Bellevue Amateur Radio Club (BARC) want to help you get started.  The Bellevue Amateur Radio Club is offering a two-part class and testing for the entry-level Technician HAM license.  There is no longer a requirement for learning Morse Code for any class of license. 

The Technician License class

How Much:  The cost of the course with the book ("Ham Radio License Manual") is $25.00.  If you already have the book, the cost to attend the course is $5.00.  FYI — The book retails for $24.95.

Want a head start?
If you'd like to get your hands on the book before the class starts, let us know and we'll get you enrolled and get the book to you!
Studying for the examThe course can be a little "intense" since we cover the entire ARRL video course in just two Saturdays.  Instructors are available for clarification and to help students with any concepts that may seem difficult.  However, it is expected that the student will prepare for the exam by also reviewing the "Ham Radio License Manual" or other study aids.  We also encourage students to take online practice exams to familiarize themselves with the questions and how they will be presented in the actual exam.

The class size is limited so please make a reservation by contacting the instructor.  Note:  Participants are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early so we can start promptly.
