The class will be taught by FCC licensed amateur radio operators. The lead instructor is a registered ARRL License Instructor and an accredited Volunteer Examiner (VE) with the Laurel VEC. All the instructors are members of the Wichita Amateur Radio Club.
This class will introduce participants to what amateur radio is and how to become a licensed amateur radio operator. The role of making as it applies to ham radio will also be explored. The class will be very interactive to help ensure that participants leave with the information they need to pursue this fascinating and educational hobby. We will also discuss how a class to help prepare for taking the licensing exam can help with passing and knowing more about what you will do once licensed.
We will discuss plans for an amateur radio station at MakeICT in the Electronics and Rapid Prototyping Lab and will tour the Lab to explain how it will be integrated.
This Weekend Series of two classes (8AM - 5PM Saturday, 8PM-4PM Sunday) will cover the material on the entry level (Technician) amateur (ham) radio examination. Students will purchase a textbook that the classes follow. The textbook is “Ham Radio School Technician License Course 2022-2026” and it includes online resources that support the text and classes. Students will purchase the book from Amazon. At the end of the Ssunday Class, a no-cost test session will be offered.
The class schedule is:
Saturday 10/11 - Class will start at 8AM and run to 5PM with a lunch break, Non-MakeIct Members will need to be 15-20 minutes early to sign in.

This is the most useful of the Amateur Radio License levels. It gives the holder of the license access to all of the available amateur radio bands. You must already hold the "Technician Class" license (that course is being taught at MakeICT earlier in October).
This course is being taught by a Registered Amateur Radio instructor and is another in the series of very successful "Ham" classes taught at Make ICT.
The class will be held on Saturday and Sunday, both days will be required to complete the class and they will be from 8AM to 5:30PM on Saturday and 8AM to 4PM on Sunday with testing tentatively scheduled after the completion of the class.
Students will need to purchase their own book and should do so at least a week before the start of the class - it can be found on Amazon at: https://tinyurl.com/2s7xm9vw
There is no Morse Code requirement for any amateur radio license.
