Ham Radio Club Gives License Training Class

Our local radio club, the N7WAH Wahkiakum Amateur Radio Club, is again offering an evening series of classes to help you prepare for your Technician Class Amateur radio license. The class will meet Wednesday evenings, 6:30- 8:00 p.m., beginning October 2 and continuing for the following six Wednesdays with the test being offered at the final meeting, on Wednesday November 13. Since we will be meeting at the robot room at Wahkiakum High School, we will need school-age children to be accompanied by a parent or to have completed a school district permission slip.

The class will cover everything needed to pass the test. You can check out an older study book from the Cathlamet Library or buy your own copy from the Amateur Radio Relay League for about $33. There are free online practice tests and study videos.

All county residents are invited. Come prepare to get your license and join us to get involved in emergency radio communications in our county. For more information and to get a copy of the study guide and register for the class, please email Ron Wright at w7eryron@gmail.com. You can also stop in at the high school front office to pick up a registration form and/or permission slip for school-age children.
