satisfying to be in on all the logistics of running the event. Plus

The two days of in-class sessions will concentrate on reviewing key topics and to answer specific questions. A portion of the in-class sessions will deal specifically with HAM radio procedures at rallies.

Official testing will take place at about 3:00 P.M. on Sunday, June 5.
Approved examiners will supervise the testing. The exams will be marked immediately.
Successful applicants will be assisted directly with application for license.

loaner packages available on a first-come, first-served basis.
