Arlington to Host "Ham" Radio Classes This Weekend
This free class will help you everything you need to know to get started into amateur "Ham" radio
ARLINGTON, MA—While Ham radio may not be as popular as it once was, it is still a very fun and exciting way to communicate.
With that in mind, the Arlington Emergency Management Agency and Arlington Community Response Team is hosting a public Amateur "Ham" Radio Class this weekend, followed by an amateur radio exam.
The class takes place Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days.
