Title: Amatuer Radio (Ham Radio) Licensing Class - September 22nd, 2012
Post by: Ghost65 on June 21, 2012, 11:15:03 AM
This is from Just Runs 4WD Club in San Diego:

We encourage members to get their Ham Radio license and install a 2 meter radio in their 4x4s for safety and convenience. Though a CB radio is part of our Required Equipment list, Ham radios are much better in case of emergency. We recommend you have both.

If you are interested in getting your license, there will be an all day class with the license test to be given immediately after the class. Most people find the classes the easiest way to get a license. The participants in the classes classes have about a 90% - 95% pass rate the first try.

There is a class for the Technician (entry level) license in Bonita scheduled for 9/22/12.

San Diego Amateur Radio Classes (http://jsg.org/sandiegohamclasses/San_Diego_Amateur_Radio_Classes/Home.html)

If you'd like to take the class and test, contact J. Goldberg (instructor)

If you have non-technical questions about Ham Radio, email me at mullinsr@cox.net or call me at 619/579-7120

I took this class and tested at the end of the class. I reccommend this class to anyone interested in HAM radio, it is informative and will help greatly. You test with all the information fresh in your mind and qualified and knowledgeable instructors to answer questions.....prior to the test of course.

I am sure there will be enough spots...unless everyone in SCCX is planning on attending.  ;)

I was going to go to the class but I forgot about a wedding I have to attend.  I'm hopefully going to the Dec. 8 class and test.

Yep, we just can't pull off the child care, plus the drive down to Bonita and the class timeframe (0830-1730) for tomorrow.
