HamCram
AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE
CLASS WITH EXAM
Our most recent Ham Cram was
a success!
Eleven people attended the educational session. Seven of them
passed
the Technician exam. If you missed our Ham Cram, go ahead and
download the study material below and begin to study.
The next Ham Cram will be held soon in Independence, KS in the basement of
the Judicial Building
The Independence Amateur Radio Club will will hold a one day "HAM CRAM"
course a day soon at 8:00 am with an optional lunch break,
12:00 am - 12:30
p.m. It will be held in the basement of the Montgomery County Judicial
Building, 300 E. Main in Independence, KS area. The VE (volunteer
examination) will follow at 3:30 p.m. at the same location.
The course will provide participants with everything they need to know
to
pass the "Technician level" FCC exam. The course makes no attempt
to go
beyond the minimum required by the FCC. If the Student studies
the pages
provided before taking this class, and reviews Ohm's Law (E=I*R), experience
indicates that they may be able to obtain their
FCC No Code Technician
License in one day.
(If you are already a licensed ham and you want to join the Ham Cram
to
study for an upgrade you are welcome to attend. Please bring your
own study
material for any upgrade.)
All of the possible questions and the answers for the Technician Class
license are available here for down load.

To obtain an edge and be better prepared, participants are encouraged
to
review any license manuals and the above listed questions.
With a FCC No Code Technician Class License, one may participate in Amateur
Radio, and have full privileges at all frequencies above 50 MHz. This
includes repeaters, all of the new digital modes, HAM satellites,
and
Weather spotting.
In addition to radio communication privileges gained from your first
radio
license, opportunities to assist disaster relief emergency communications
and severe weather coordination are also available
which can be fun and
rewarding. Groups like A.R.E.S. (Amateur Radio Emergency Services),
SKYWARN
and others provide important public services.
A new technology available to new hams, of particular interest is that
of
APRS. This allows you to transmit the coordinates of your vehicle allowing
the position to be displayed on the internet. Another great
tool for weather
spotting.
There is no charge for the Ham Cram.
There will be a charge of $14.00 to take the VE exam. You will need to bring
two IDs. All levels of exams will be given during the VE examination.
The independent examiners will provide participants with pass or fail
information on the spot.
If you want to become a HAM call Bret Chilcott at 620-325-2538 or email at
info@indykshams.org.
Talk in will be on the Independence repeater of 145.490- .
