Hillsborough County ARES/RACES is proud to sponsor 2 amateur radio courses:
the introductory Amateur Radio "Technician Class" License Course and the
General Class license upgrade course, all in a traditional classroom
setting.  Please invite your friends to come join the well over 350 people
who have taken these courses and earned or upgraded an Amateur Radio license
during the last few years. This course will be held on two Saturdays - the
7th and 21st of January, 2012.

 

Both classes will meet at the Hillsborough County Emergency Operations
Center, located at 2711 E. Hanna Ave, Tampa, FL 33610.  Class will start on
both days at 9AM and continue until 5PM. On the 21st of January, testing
will begin at 3:30PM.

 

The introductory Technician course will be based around the new "ARRL's Tech
Q & A, 5th Edition".  This book will be available to borrow at the beginning
of the first class.   The book associated with this class costs $19.95, and
is titled "The ARRL Emergency Communications Handbook". The books will be
ordered for you after the first day of class, and will be distributed on the
final day. 

 

The General Class license upgrade study book will be available to borrow at
the beginning of the first class.  The take-away book associated with this
General upgrade class costs $29.95, and is titled "The ARRL Operating
Manual".  The Operating Manual will be ordered for you after the first day
of class, and will be distributed on the final day.

 

There are no training fees for this class.  However, there is a fee of $14
for taking the test, and the books are $19.95 and $29.95, depending upon
which class you are taking.  You will pay for the test and the book at the
start of class.  Please bring a government-issued picture ID card with you,
as well.

 

The class size is limited - and you can sign up online! In order to properly
prepare materials and gauge class sizes, please send an email to
training at hcaresraces.org to reserve your seat in this class.  If you are
unable to attend both sessions of your course, please let us know about that
as well - there is some scheduling flexibility for these classes.

 

These classes wrap around a local Amateur Radio activity known as TARCFest,
at which you will have the opportunity to browse and purchase amateur radio
products, new and used.  We'll discuss this optional activity in greater
detail during class.

 

Please check www.hcaresraces.org for information related to these classes,
as well as other information related to emergency communications in our
area.

 

We look forward to seeing you and your friends and family there!
