[MarinTeams] Amateur Radio License Examination Saturday, November 12

[Bill Smith]

The Hamilton Wireless Association encourages those who are interested in
neighborhood communications or perhaps just interested in radio
communications as a hobby to participate in the upcoming Amateur Radio
license event.   In addition to filling out a simple form, passing a test of
basic radio technology is all that is needed.   HWA offers a license
preparation class on the same day as the examination.  

The preparation class and examination will be held Saturday, November 12.
The preparation class begins at 9:00am. and the examination to obtain your
amateur radio license scheduled at 1:00pm.

The License Class offered by the Hamilton Wireless Association is the first
step in the HWA-sponsored Radio program.  Once you have obtained your
license, we invite you to attend a four-session Communications Class as an
independent amateur radio communications training program.   We would like
you to help us build an expanding neighborhood radio network in your
neighborhood. 

At the Saturday License Class, you will be given a booklet with questions
and correct answers which we ask you to read up to the time of the test.
Experience indicates virtually everyone who reads the materials passes the
test.

Once you obtain your Amateur Radio license, we ask you to purchase a two-way
radio.  Cost of the radio ranges between $25 and $180.
 
The cost of the License Class is $25.   If you would like to pre-register,
send your name, address, email and phone number along with $25 to

Our "Marin Teams" mailing list provides announcements of upcoming classes,

ask to be placed on the list.

The Communications Classes are conducted on an ongoing basis to assist you
with using your radio.  There are four class sessions which are held in
sequence Thursday evenings from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.   Further, there are
on-air exercises held every Monday evening from 7:00 to 7:30 in which you
can participate from your home.   If you know of any neighbors or friends
