Pacific County Amateur Radio Club Training Program The Pacific County Amateur Radio Club is committed to helping anyone interested in Amateur Radio to enter, or advance within the hobby. Based upon interest, the club holds classes and Volunteer Exam sessions to train and license Amateur Radio operators. If you would like to join one of our classes, or would like help studying on your own, please contact us. We would be happy to help.
License Preparation Classes
Classes are driven by demand!
The
Winter Seminar Series
is presented in answer to demand. Requests
for specific presentations will be considered. Check back often
for updates and schedule changes.
Further classes, both for entry
into, and upgrading
within Amateur Radio are
put together as dictated
by demand. If you have a
group of six or more
in Pacific County, WA,
who would like to
take a class, we are interested
in hearing from you!
Click here to email Frank, [email protected] We encourage the newcomer to the hobby
and the "old salt" alike, to come and learn. There
is no cost for our classes
(the recommended text
for License Preparation Classes
costs about $20 and there
is a fee for the exam).

License Exam Session Guidelines
PCARC has an ARRL VEC affiliated Volunteer
Exam Team. On Exam Day, please bring the following with you:
1) $15.00 cash.
Exact change is greatly appreciated.
We will also accept a check made out to 'ARRL VEC'.
We will supply scratch paper if you need it.
No books, notes, papers or food are allowed in the room
during the exam except those materials we will distribute
for the test.
All exam materials will be collected at the end of the exam.
If there is anything unusual about your examination
request, please bring this to our attention when you contact
us to register for the exam.
This would include access issues or accommodations, examination
credit for any circumstance or document other than a valid CSCE,
or if you have ever had FCC action taken against your Amateur License.
If you wait until exam day and only then make a request that
is out of the ordinary, we may have difficulty serving you.
We all want you to p
ass, so please work with us.
Our Team Contact Person and Liaison is Frank
Wolfe, NM7R.

As referenced in the 'Technician Class Notes' (below),
we recommend the Gordon West series
of study manuals in our classes. Gordo has
organized the Question Pool into a more logical
order, making it easier to study. At about $20, the
study guide is a reasonable investment. Although
the study guides are intended to support an organized
class, they make it easy to study on
your own, too.
There is no longer a Morse
Code test for any class of license.
The only exams are the Technician (Element 2), General
(Element 3), and
Extra Class (Element 4) written (multiple choice)
tests. Click
