HamBone College Technician Class Course Information

The DBARA HamBone College (HBC) Team will start another Amateur Radio Technician Class license course 26 April 2008.  See below for Point of Contact (POC) information.

The course is FREE. Students will need to obtain the textbook: ARRL's Technician Class License Manual. You can purchase the book directly from the ARRL online or by phone. 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 link to the ARRL's Amateur Technician Class License Manual detail and ordering web page is: http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=9647 .  Other sources such as Amateur Electronic Supplies (AES) in Orlando are  acceptable but be sure  it is the most current edition.

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 a thorough treatment on practical communications electronics (that simply can't be done in 18 contact hours.) 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.

Thus far ZERO people have reserved seats in the class.  If you would like to take this class. Once your seat has been reserved, please order the textbook and read Chapter 1 prior to the first class.
