I am teaching a class through the Montville (CT) Adult Education/Enrichment Program. The class will teach the material needed to pass the Technician Amateur Radio License Exam.

The class runs from 6 to 8 PM on Wednesday 27 September, 2017 through 15 November, 2017. The license exams will be given on the last class night, 15 November.

I will use this blog space to post information about the class, as well as various class resources. On week 1 I handed out a class syllabus. Here is the electronic file for that syllabus. Click the link to download the file to your computer. (Technician_Class_Syllabus)

I have uploaded the PowerPoint presentation files for the class to the Media section of the webpage, and have provided links to those files below. I will add other links and resources as the class progresses.

The class meets for the third time on Wednesday 11 October. You can find lots more information about Amateur Radio on the American Radio Relay League’s website. ARRL is the national association for Amateur Radio. You can find practice exams on the ARRL site. Another great resource, including practice exams, is www.QRZ.com.

There are many websites that provide access to software defined radio (SDR) receivers. You can do a Google search for SDR, but one of my favorites is websdr.org. You will find receivers from around the world. Check out a few of them, and tune in various signals to hear what is going on around the Amateur Radio bands, shortwave broadcast bands, and all kinds of other radio services. Have fun!
