This book is recommended
prior to taking the One-Day class
There are no excuses for not becoming a ham at PACIFICON. Once again, Rich Harrington, NN6FW, will be giving the "One-Day" Amerateur Radio License Class at Pacificon. Get your Technician License IN ONE DAY !!!!  The class will be taught Saturday, October 18, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. A special license test for those who take the class will be given at 5:00 PM. The class is limited in enrollment to 36 students, so sign up early. You must purchase a Pacificon General Admission ticket to attend this class. There is no additional charge for the class, but there is the usual $14 fee for taking the license test at 5:00 PM. No Morse Code is required to become a ham!

Rich recommends that you buy and read the book "The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual: All You Need to Become a Ham Radio Operator " before the class . He suggests that you at least read the chapter which covers Ohm's Law and basic electrical principles (look up "Ohm's Law" in the index in the back). You can order the book at Ham Radio Outlet in Oakland for about $25.00 plus shipping. Call HRO at 1-800-854-6046. It is also available at Amazon.com or through the ARRL website (http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=9639#top).

Sign up for the One Day Class below so we can hold a spot for you. Enrollment is limited to 36 students. In order to give as many people as possible a chance to attend this class, on approximately October 1st, we will send an email asking you to verify your attendance in the class. If you do not respond within 5 days of that email your name will be taken off the class list. If you sign up and later learn that you cannot attend, please notify webmaster as soon as possible so your slot can be used by someone else.

If you plan on taking the technician test at 5:00 PM, remember the following:

• The license exam fee is $14

• You will need one photo ID, and will need to write down your social security number on the application (including minors)

• Retakes are available on Sunday

October 14, 2008 - Unfortunately our One Day Technician License Class is now full and we cannot accept any more signups. If you received an email request during the past several days to verify your attendance and you did not respond with a verification email, your name will not be on the class list. We've made every attempt to reach those who signed up, including sending a second verification request to those who did not respond to the first one.
