How You Can Join Our Group
Ø If you already have a ham license (Technician License is just fine), then come to our next meeting.
Ø If you are interested, but do not have a license, then come to our next meeting anyway and we will help you study for your license. When you are ready (after a few weeks of easy study) we will arrange for the FCC required test. It is really not all that difficult. Links to the ARRL study guide for a Technician License are below.
