Saturday, 06 April, Point Loma Area------------------------------------------------------------------
One-Day Amateur Radio Technician License Class

The Amateur Radio Service (Ham Radio) has practical applications from providing emergency communications and supporting civic events, to education and recreation.

This is an entry-level class for beginners, and previous knowledge about radio or electricity is not required to take the class or pass the exam. (A few hours of study before class dramatically improves most people's ability to pass the exam.)

Those who pass the end-of-the-day exam will receive a radio license and call sign from the FCC which entitles them to transmit on VHF and UHF Amateur Radio frequencies.

Date: Saturday, 06 April 2013
Times: 8:30 AM (sharp) to about 7:00 PM for both the class and exam.
(This includes hourly breaks and a 45 minute lunch.)

Location: Point Loma Area (details provided later)

Costs: There is no charge for the class.
The Examination immediately after class costs no more than $15 (and often only $5)

Eligibility: Anyone following email instructions to register and confirm is eligible.
Age limit: None (contact us for teen and pre-teen considerations)

Registration: Register Well In Advance! Seating is limited and classes usually fill early.

To request registration instructions, email to sandiegohamclasses@me.com using the subject of this email.
You will receive an email with instructions to complete the registration process and study materials to review before class.
You will need to reply to that email per the instructions. A prompt reply is to your advantage - seats are reserved in the order replies are received.
(Those who do not follow instructions and complete registration via email are ineligible to attend the class.)

Reminders: There are only one or two - be sure to look for them.
Those registered will receive an email reminder about 14 days before class with location and what to bring.
Those on the waiting list will receive an update about 10 days before class about whether space will be available.

Additional notes:

1. We must have a working email address for each prospective attendee. We can not accept ôproxyö registrations for your friends or family without being in direct contact via email. However, you can begin registration for a family member by including their email address on the CC line when you request registration instructions.

2. If you are a member of a group that plans to have multiple people attend, please mention that group in your email.
