TECHNICIAN AMATEUR RADIO CLASS

Sponsored by GARS
prepares you to pass the test to be
A FCC LICENSED AMATEUR RADIO OPERATOR
Good for You, your Family, and your Community

Why a License?
Although the main purpose of Amateur Radio is fun, it is called the "Amateur Radio Service" because it also has a serious face. The FCC created this "Service" to fill the need for a pool of experts who could provide backup emergency communications. In addition, the FCC acknowledged the ability of the hobby to advance the communication and technical skills of radio, and to enhance international goodwill. This philosophy has paid off. Countless lives have been saved where skilled hobbyists act as emergency communicators to render aid, whether it's during an earthquake in Italy or a hurricane in the U.S.
