When all other communication channels fail,HAM radio endures. Armature short-wave radio has proved to be vital during power outages,natural disasters, and backcountry emergencies.It?s also a fun way to communicate with people around the world. Students will learn the basics of amateur radio, including how to use and operate different kinds of hand-held radios, how to use the Baldy-Galena repeater system, and how to follow regulations and radio etiquette.This class is open to people who work or volunteer as emergency responders and want to prepare for the FCC licensing exam (to use airwaves), as well as people who may not even have a radio, but want to learn. The licensing exam will be offered on the last day of class.
