===> There is also an FCC Application Fee: $35.00 – Billed by the FCC and payable directly to the FCC. This fee is in addition to the $25.00 Class Fee. This fee is only billed if you pass your license exam and get a new call sign, and it will be billed directly from the FCC to you (the applicant). This fee applies to anyone getting their first call sign (newly licensed), requesting a new sequential call sign as part of a license upgrade, or anyone requesting a new vanity call sign (regardless of whether a new vanity call sign is issued).

CLASS: This class is for the Technician license, which is the entry level Amateur Radio License.

To register for our 2-day HamCram Class, use our registration form below. Pre-registration is REQUIRED. No Walk-ins accepted. This fee is non-refundable. Pizza lunch both days is included in your fee and will be brought in to save time.

We will be using the Ham Radio School Technician License Study Guide for this class. You can purchase the study guide locally at Ham Radio Outlet in Doraville, or purchase the book online at HamRadioSchool.com. We encourage you to at least look over the material in a study book and take some practice tests. We will go over every question in the question pool during the class, but remember that the test will only be 35 multiple choice questions. If you get 26 out of the 35 questions correct, you will pass the test. We suggest that you take some practice tests prior to the class to familiarize yourself with the question format and some of the material. Go to our exam page for sample online tests towards the bottom.

EXAM SESSION: This exam session is a closed exam session only available to those students who sign up for the class. Exams will begin 4:00pm on Sunday after the class is done. The Exam cost is included in your fee.

GARS MEETING

We meet on the second Tuesday of every month, except December. Guests are always welcome to our functions!

WHEN: Second Tuesday – Doors open at 6:30 pm, Meeting Starts at 7:00 pm.

WHERE: EAA 690 Hangar, Gwinnett County Airport – Briscoe Field, 690 Airport Rd, Lawrenceville, GA 30046

PROGRAM: August 9, 2022 – How to build a 4-element, 2m, Cubical Quad Antenna – Dallas N4DDM – The Presentation

Dallas will go over his selection of plans found on the Internet and Bill of Materials. The plan/goal is to make this from items found in most garages or the local big box hardware stores. I’ll build/demo a 2m version of this antenna but the on-line calculators and ARRL handbooks give dimensions to make these for any ham band even multi-band versions.
