WØTLM Ham Radio Technician Class, Feb-Mar 2024
We are introducing a new approach to teaching the Technician Level ham radio license class. This is the entry-level class for people who do not currently have an amateur (ham) radio license.
Registration is now open for the class, which starts on Feb 17th.
We have completely overhauled the delivery format of the Tech Class to make good use of in-person and online training methods. The biggest change is that most of the core material will be delivered to the student via bite-sized online videos, ebook sections, and additional content from Ham Radio School. This dramatically increases the flexibility on how and when the student views this material, eliminating long, all-day classroom sessions. We will have three live Zoom sessions along the way to review the material and answer any questions you might have.
We understand that in-person training is extremely valuable for certain types of activities. Accordingly, we will have an in-person kickoff session (Feb 17) for the instructors to meet the students and show them how ham radio equipment is used. The licensing exam session (Mar 9) is another in-person event. Finally, after you receive your new license, we will have an in-person Get On The Air event (Mar 16) where you will make your first radio contact. To help guide you through this process, an experienced radio ham will connect up with you, monitor your progress and help you on your way through the class.
The cost of the class is $50 ($40 for anyone under 18 years old), which includes everything you need for the class. A non-expiring subscription to the Ham Radio School Technician resources is included. We used to require that you have a copy of the Ham Radio School Technician book, but that same material will be delivered to you online as an ebook. Proceeds from this class go to support the Tri-Lakes Monument Radio Association, a non-profit organization.
You still need to pay a $35 license fee directly to the FCC after passing the license exam.
More details are in the attached flyer.

Hello. I am a rookie to the HAMM radio world. I bought 4 GT-5R baofeng hand held radios and am excited to get started educating myself on the ins and outs of the use of these radios. I know I need to pass a class and test to become certified before I can use them. I would like guidance on my next steps. I appreciate any info and expertise you would be willing to share. Thank you
