[MarinTeams] Spread the Word! Beginner's Class in Amateur Radio

[Bill]

Please spread the word.  Please forward to Next Door or other local
neighborhood information channels.

The Hamilton Wireless Association encourages those who are interested in
neighborhood communications or perhaps just interested in personal 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.

The Hamilton Wireless Association offers ongoing training courses to acquire
an amateur radio license.  We now offer a free, two-session class to prepare
for the license examination.  The first class  is scheduled for Monday July
31, 8:00pm-8:30pm on-line using Zoom.  The Technician study manual we use is
posted on-line and is available for download at www.ad7fo.com.  The on-line
course is free.   If you would like to attend, please provide your name,
phone and address in an email request to info at k6bw.org.

Hamilton Wireless also offers a FCC-sponsored examination, which will be
held at 10:00AM Saturday, August 12th at Novato Community Hospital.  The
license examination will be held out side in the parking lot just to the
left of the main Hospital campus.  The main Hospital is located at 180
Rowland Way, Novato CA 94945.  Request a reservation by email to
info at k6bw.org.

The examination fee is $15.

Obtaining your FCC Amateur Radio license is the first step in the
HWA-sponsored TEAM Radio program. Those of you who have obtained your
license are asked to purchase a transceiver.  Cost of a basic radio ranges
between $40 and $180.

Our "Marin Teams" mailing list provides announcements of upcoming classes,
and current information about the program.  The list also provides a way to
communicate among our TEAM Radio members.  If you are not already a
subscriber, ask to be placed on the list.

We would like you to help us build an expanding radio network in your
neighborhood.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email or
call.

Sincerely,

Bill Smith, AB6MT
