If you want to be a Ham, here's your chance! Classes will begin on 17 March to lead to testing for the Technician's license. The announcement below will soon be released to local media. Please help spread the word among your friends and acquaintances who might be interested! Thanks. --K3ACT

Anne Arundel Radio Club will be offering a free class to prepare interested persons to become licensed Ham radio operators. This class is intended for persons who are not presently licensed, and will prepare the student to take the licensing test to receive a Technician license. The class will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, 17 March 2012, and will be held each Saturday until and including 14 April. The classes will last for 3 hours each Saturday, with the exception of the last class on 14 April, which will be a two-hour review, in preparation for the exam which will be held at noon that day. All classes and the exam, which will also be free, will be held at the Anne Arundel Radio Club clubhouse located at 3789 Queen Anne Bridge Rd, Davidsonville, MD, 21035. The only cost for the student will be $25 for the official ARRL Ham Radio License Manual, which will be the course textbook. For further information, contact the AARC Training Coordinator Steve Hanlon, WM3O, at wm3o@arrl.net.
