The Delaware-Lehigh Amateur Radio Club is offering free classes to prepare interested individuals for the short entry-level FCC Amateur Radio license test and the start of enjoyment in amateur radio communications.

Participants will learn how radios and antennas work, how to set up and operate a station at home, in their vehicle, and while they walk using a small hand-held radio, and more.

If you are within the age range of about 8 to 80 plus, and have an interest in amateur radio, you qualify for enrollment.

For hams currently holding the entry-level license, they also offer free classes to prepare for the test to upgrade to the General Class license.

Classes for both entry-level and General Class license will start 7 p.m. March 6 and run for 10 Tuesday evenings (the FCC license test will be offered on the 10th Tuesday), at the Gracedale Complex in Nazareth.

More information about amateur radio can be found on the group’s website at www.dlarc.org/club-info/classes, and the national association’s website www.arrl.org/what-is-ham-radio.

To register for the classes, or if you have questions about amateur radio or the classes, call 610-432-8286 or email KE3AW@ARRL.com.
