Ready to take your amateur radio journey to the next level? The ARCNEM
General Class License Course is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, November 10,
2026 and run thru January 5, 2027 (9 sessions).

Classes are sponsored by the National Electronics Museum
<https://www.nationalelectronicsmuseum.org/>.

Upgrading from Technician to General is the single biggest leap you can
make in amateur radio, granting you access to the High Frequency (HF)
bands.

*Why Upgrade? *---- The Power of HF Privileges


While Technician privileges keep you mostly local on VHF/UHF, a General
Class license unlocks over 80% of the amateur radio spectrum. With HF
privileges, you can:

* Communicate Worldwide: Bounce signals off the ionosphere to talk across
continents and oceans without relying on internet-linked repeaters or
infrastructure.

* Master the Solar Cycle: Experience the thrill of peak solar activity on
the 10, 15, and 20-meter bands, where even low-power (QRP) stations can
achieve global reach.

* Activate Parks on the Air (POTA): Take your station into the great
outdoors! General HF privileges allow you to easily hunt or activate state
and national parks, a massive and highly active global community.

* Chase DX & Awards: Participate in international contesting, hunt rare DX
stations, and work toward prestigious milestones like DXCC (DX Century
Club) and Worked All States (WAS).

* Explore Diverse Modes: Dive deep into long-distance single sideband (SSB)
voice, traditional CW (Morse code), and advanced digital weak-signal modes
like FT8.

* Enhance Emergency Capabilities: Provide resilient, long-range emergency
communications that can bridge gaps across states and countries when local
infrastructure fails.

*Course Schedule & Details*

* Start Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2026

* Format: Weekly 3-hour sessions held on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM
Eastern Time

* Platform: Online via Zoom (links will be sent to registered participants)

* All sessions will be recorded and available on YouTube

*How to Register*

Contact Tom K3YH at
*tom.christovich at gmail.com <tom.christovich at gmail.com> *

Don't let your amateur radio journey stop at the local repeater. Join us
starting November 10 and unlock the true, global potential of your station.

73,

Tom K3YH
