Classes will be every Monday at 6:00 pm and run for approximately twelve weeks. You will learn basic electricity, safety and regulations necessary to pass the Basic Amateur Radio examination. By attending class you will obtain the latest information, books and study guides to help you pass. David, VE3BBN, an avid experimenter, is your instructor.
