Amateur Radio


An Amateur Radio Technician License class will be presented in the ADH Auditorium, 4815 W. Markham St, on November 12th and 19th from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.

This 2 day class will present the basic knowledge required to pass the Element 2 FCC exam for the Technician Class amateur radio license.

The class is open to the public, and is free of charge. No pre-registration is required. Enter at the south downstairs door.

FCC exams for amateur radio licensing will be given on the afternoon of the 19th, at the end of class. There is a $15 administrative fee to take the FCC exam, which will be collected by the Volunteer Examination team at the time of the exam.


It is a neat skill to have, many are storm spotters, you have the ability to communicate when most every other form of communication is down. I am very interested in forming a ham radio team at MEMS.
There will be other classes, we just found out about these
