November 17 through 19. A VE session follows to get licensed. Call 937-7130 for more information. There are wonderful resources available to assist in learning enough about amateur radio to get started as a Technician level licensed operator. The advantage of the Tech license is that it does not require you to learn Morse Code.
Several clubs offer classes now and again right here on the Central Coast.
There are several books, videos, tapes and computer programs available from the ARRL and at local book stores and electronics retailers. Be persistent, you will find good stuff to study. That book and a few classes with a relatively new Tech himself was what it took for your webmaster to get licensed. See the Contact Us page to talk to nice people who can help you study and get licensed.
