In keeping with our mission statement, we offer classes when there is interest. We welcome anyone who has an interest in amateur radio and wishes to obtain an FCC license. In the United States, there are currently three classes of licenses: 1) Technician, which is a beginner level license with limited privileges, 2) General, which is a more advanced license with extended privileges, and 3) Amateur Extra, which permits operation on all allocated bands and modes available to United States hams. If you are interested in taking a class or would like more information, please contact our Vice President: Dave KY8OSU at education(at)noars(dot)net or take our survey by clicking here. If you are already licensed and would like to assist with teaching a class, you can also contact Dave. He would love to add you to the NOARS Education team.
