Ready to jump into HF ?
NOW is the time !
MAARC is offering a class to prepare you
for the FCC General Class Exam
It has been a long time since a class has been offered in the area for Technicians wanting to upgrade to General, and we are excited to get that started again. If you are ready to meet the world on the air, we are ready to help you get there ! Don't wait any longer, don't put it off for later-- sign up for the upcoming Spring class and pick up your General ticket.
When: Weekly on Wednesday evenings, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm beginning March 9, 2016 and ending April 27th, 2016 (8 sessions total)
Where: Community Room at the Maring-Hunt Branch of the Muncie Public Library (2005 S. High Street)
Cost: The class is free, but you will need the ARRL General Class License Manual, 8th Ed. If you have or obtain the book on your own, that's perfectly fine. Amazon has them (including Kindle format) and so might some of your friends. As long as it's the General Class 8th Edition, you're good to go.
If you need a book, contact us no later than Wednesday March 2, 2016 and we will have one waiting for you at the first class meeting. Books cost $30.00, pay when you pick it up.
Also, there is an FCC admin/filing fee of $15.00 required to take the exam on April 27th. You will pay the volunteer examiner team directly when you take the exam.
So... Free Class + $30 Book + $15 FCC Fee = $45.00.
