Each week, the class is divided into three periods,
each about 40 minutes long.
The first period concerns Regulations
& Practices.
The second period will deal with technical
issues.
The third period is normally a demonstration time.
The
chapter references refer to chapters in "Now You're Talking"
(Fifth Edition), published by ARRL, available at HAM
Radio Outlet (HRO), 8400 E. Iliff Ave #9, or online at amazon.com
or barnesandnoble.com.
I will have a small supply of the manuals the first few weeks of the
class. Please note that the questions on the test have changed and so
has the book. Make sure you get the Fifth (5th) edition!
