WEEKEND "EXPRESS" TECHNICIAN LICENSE EXAM PREPARATION CLASS



February 5 & 6, 2005

(Snow Dates: 2/12 - 13/05)



Course Information



The Carroll County Amateur Radio Club's Training & Education Committee will
hold a weekend "Express" course to prepare candidates for the Technician
Class Amateur Radio License examination.  The Technician license is the
entry level Amateur Radio license class, does not require a Morse Code test
and affords licensees all Amateur Radio privileges above 50 Megahertz.

The course will be centered on the American Radio Relay League's (ARRL)
tried and true Technician License Video Course and supplemented by the
instructors through question and answer periods after each lesson.  The
instructors will also be available for help after Saturday's classroom
session.  Following the Sunday session, an ARRL Volunteer Examination will
be administered.



Course Pre-Requisite



While there are no formal pre-requisites, students are strongly encouraged
to begin studying for the course before the weekend classroom sessions using
the ARRL's Now You're Talking License Manual (5th edition) or Ham Radio For
Dummies.  Copies of Now You're Talking are available from the Carroll County
Amateur Club.  The cost is $15.00 (25% off the cover price).  You may either
pick up your manual at our January 10, 2005 meeting beginning at 7:00pm or a
copy can be send to you via USPS Priority Mail for an additional $6.00.
