Classes scheduled in the GCARES area
To help those interested in obtaining a ham radio license, the Greene County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (GCARES) again expects to offer three Amateur Radio license classes. In addition to GCARES, the course is supported by the Bellbrook  Amateur Radio Club (BARC), the Upper Valley Amateur Radio Club (UVARC) and the Xenia Weather Amateur Radio Network (XWARN).

The entry level Technician Class course will be held in the Training Center at the Bellbrook Amateur Radio Club Clubhouse, Room 1 Sugarcreek Elementary School, 51 South East Street in Bellbrook. No experience is required and there is no minimum age required to earn a Technician Class license.

The General Class course and the Test Session will be held in the Training Room at Beavercreek Township Fire Station 1 located at 1298 Dayton-Xenia Road just west of Orchard Lane.

The Extra Class course will be held in the Training Room at Fairborn Fire Station 2 located at 2200 Commerce Center Blvd just south of Dayton-Yellow Springs Road just east of I-675.

There is no charge for the courses but all students are encouraged to have a copy of the respective ARRL License Manual.  Current editions of each license manual will be available the first two weeks of the courses at a discounted price.  Alternative study guides may be downloaded from the Internet.

Please pass this information along to any prospective hams you know.  No experience is required for the entry level (Technician Class) amateur radio license & there is no age limit for obtaining an amateur radio license.

All current Technician Class hams should seriously consider upgrading to General Class and the Greene County course provides an ideal opportunity.

Check back for additional information about registration.

If you know of any radio related classes or training, please send the info to the Webmaster for posting.
