Newport County Radio Club is offering another Amateur Radio Technician License Class, beginning Tuesday October 7.

There will be a total of six classes on consecutive Tuesdays, followed by an exam on November 18, 2014.


The class is open to all individuals on a space available basis. There is a $10 fee which covers the cost of the student workbook. Students completing the class will pay a $15 exam fee.


The class is designed for students of all ages and does not require prior technical knowledge or significant math skills (if you can add/subtract/multiply/divide with a calculator you are all set). The class covers every possible question that can appear on the exam, and more than 90% of the students who complete the class and take the exam pass it the first time.
