Live Amateur Radio Technician Class

This is a class open to the public who would like to consider getting their ham radio license. You can attend in person at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints located at 858 South Shoop Ave, Wauseon OH or you may attend via Zoom with the link provided. We plan to hold the class on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month at 7pm. The cost of the class is free, however we do encourage students to purchase a technician license prep book, or download an app for their device to assist them with their study. The purpose of the class is to reinforce some of the material you will study, and the majority of the preparation will be on your own time. This class will be a great help to have success in passing the test. Successful operation of ham radio will happen hands on once you are licensed!
