HamBone College Technician Class Course Information

The DBARA HamBone College (HBC) Team will start another Amateur Radio Technician Class license course ?? January 2009.  See below for Point of Contact (POC) information.

The price is $24.95 plus shipping. Visit http://www.arrl.org/catalog or call the ARRL Publication Sales Line at 1-888-277-5289.

The class will be fast paced. Students will be expected to prepare for each class by reading one or more chapters in the textbook in advance of each class. The class is not intended to be make an electronics expert out of you but give you the basic practical communications communication skills needed to get your license. The class will focus on the theory covered by the test including methods of solving the math questions. Class time will also be devoted to helping students to understand those topics with which they are having difficulty. This course has several demonstrations planned into it to provide the student with some hands on training and familiarization with various brands of equipment before you gain your license. 

Students are encouraged to make use of the HBC Student Yahoo Group electronic mail program to ask questions, keep up to date on potential date changes and use it as a learning aid or tool. Also all home work assignments and material are available at www.hambonecollege.com.
