[ILHam] Entry Level Ham Class Begins April 19, 2006

Thu Feb 23 07:23:55 EST 2006

This is in response to Jerry's request; however I encourage everyone to pass
this on.....

What works when other Communication systems fail?  How can you talk to
anyone in the world with no roaming fees or airtime charges?  Become an
Amateur (Ham) Radio operator!

As an amateur radio operator you'll get to:

        * Serve your community
        * Talk to other hams on the radio
        * Meet new friends
        * Have your own individual callsign

The Metro Amateur Radio Club will be holding a 10 week course where YOU will
learn everything you need to earn your entry level FCC Amateur Radio license
and begin to talk on the radio with other hams in the area.

Registration is required.  The deadline is April 1, 2006

WHEN: Wednesday evenings, April 19 through June 21, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

WHERE: Bethlehem Lutheran Church (1334 Wesley, Evanston, Illinois 60201)

WHO: Metro Amateur Radio Club and You!

COST: $25 (Includes "Now You're Talking" textbook and course materials.
Cost DOES NOT cover 35 question examination fee.  If you have the textbook
the fee is $10).

For more information (or to volunteer as an instructor) contact: Scott Irwin
(W8UFO) at 847-492-3456 or e-mail newham -at- metroarc.org.

The North Shore Radio Club will link its repeaters February 23 for the 8:00 
p.m. CST net. Check in on the two meter repeater (147.345 MHz, +600 Hz, PL 
107.2 Hz) or the 440 repeater (442.075 +5MHz, PL 100.0 Hz). The 440 repeater
has 
the greater range. However, please check 2-meters if you don't hear us on
UHF. 
It's suggested that the operator pause for about a second after keying the 
microphone to allow the linkage to pick up the request to transmit,
especially on 
the 440 band.

In addition to local traffic, and John Wass with the local hamfest and 
American Radio Relay League (ARRL) news, this week's net will include the
RAIN 
Report and Amateur Radio Newsline. The RAIN Report is "The Story Behind Suit
Sat" 
Part Two. This week we'll actually hear several audio snippets from Suit
Sat's 
VHF HT. What kind of 2-meter handheld is being used? And what information is

it transmitting? We hear those answers this week as RAIN Founder/Producer,
Hap 
Holly, KC9RP, continues his interview with Steve Bible, N7HPR, the designer
of 
the Suit Sat controller, Applications Engineer with Micro Chip Technology, 
and long-time Vice President of TAPR, the Tucson Amateur Packet Radio Corp.

Amateur Radio Newsline reports on good words to congress about ham radio, 
dropping Morse seems to be on the back-burner at the FCC, the 3Y0X
DXpedition 
gets up to full speed and "Ham Radio is Public Service" is announced as the
Theme 
of Hamvention 2006.

All licensed amateurs are welcome to check in. Check-ins are taken by net
control Mark, WA9IVH, at the beginning of the net, between RAIN and
Newsline, 
and after Newsline.

73,
Marilyn Tschannen Gardner, W9LUO
North Shore Radio Club

We had a recent inquiry into our WWW.RACES.ORG website looking for any group
running a (Technician) ham license class/ham cram within about forth-five
minutes from the Des Plaines area. If anyone has information on this, please
email me off-line and I'll be glad to forward it.
