Amateur Extra Class
January 20 thru March 24, 2018
The Fox River Radio League will be holding a free 10 week course where you can learn everything you need to upgrade to the Amateur Extra Class amateur radio license.
The textbook for the class will be The Amateur Extra Class License Manual, 11th Edition. Be sure you have a copy for class. Books can be purchased online through www.arrl.org, at local hamfests or several other online sources. Additional study material will be given to you at the classes.
This class is designed for people with some background in radio and a General class license. Be prepared for individual study also. This is not an easy test, but with study, passing follows. The test is a 50 question multiple choice written test.
ANYONE is invited to join the class or “sit in” as a refresher.
