Get your Ham License in a Day!

One-Day Ham Radio Class

Oct 6th, 2018

An Invitation

Once again the Benicia Amateur Radio Club and its volunteers will be conducting another One-Day Ham Radio Class. This class is intended for those wishing to get a Tech Ham license, or existing Techs wishing to upgrade to General.

Conducted multiple times throughout the year, this class has been very well received by the greater Northern California community. We have helped Hams from Shasta to Santa Cruz, the San Joaquin Valley, and from the Peninsula to the Sierra Foothills.

Many of us know people that we’d love to see get into our exciting hobby but have faced opposition because they didn’t have time to study. As we know, many people typically require one to two months to prepare to pass their test.

We have the answer. Earn a license or upgrade in One Day!

Historically over 90% of attendees pass the on-site FCC licensing exam. Our exams are administered by federally accredited Volunteer Examiners (VE’s) immediately at the conclusion of the class. Our proven class pass rate easily exceeds home study results.

Please Share this with your club members, friends, family, co-workers and local CERT Teams.

We invite all persons interested in obtaining a Ham license - or Techs wishing to upgrade - to enroll in this One-Day class. We have over 30 Facilitators and Accredited VE’s to help deliver this successful class.

Ooooh!!!

Has anyone done these cram sessions and passed? I might do this on that date.

 

I am actually a Volunteer Examiner for this test. I have seen a huge amount of people pass their tests and get their licenses. My husband passed his General (and upgraded his license) test taking this class. I myself did not take this class to pass my test, because it wasn’t around yet. I posted this because it’s a great option! Hope to see you there!

 

Some day....I will do this.

 

I didn’t do this Hamcram but I did another. I passed with a 97% and zero studying. Also met some cool people.

It was well worth the time and minimal cost.

 

Signed up last night!

 

You should take advantage of one of these classes while they are available. They are a massive undertaking (They are great fun too though!) by the clubs that provide them, with at least 30 volunteers headed by some super motivated volunteer Coordinator/Director and sometimes when the main Director retires-they go away.

 

I took this class and me and the wife passed with one wrong each it works that's for sure.

 

Maybe when I take that class I can swing by the office hoping those sliders would be ready!!! Effing excited.

Also when I pass gonna search around for hardwiring HAM into the rig.

 

Me and @MJonaGS32 have. It's a long day, make sure you bring plenty of caffeine.

 

Caffeine gum works for me to maintain

 

Not open weekends.

 

Then I will hopefully swing by Friday if they are ready to rock n roll.

 

Awesome! have been waiting for something like this. I’m in! Thank you for the information.

 

See ya there!

 

Saweeeeet!

 

That's pretty neat. Wish I lived anywhere near there I might upgrade my tech.

Hams are good people. Best of luck to anyone that participates!

 

I will be out of town unfortunately this weekend.. @Tacoma ham am curious if there is another coming up after (ideally near Santa Cruz?)

 

I might be up for one if it was near Santa Cruz or Los Gatos area as well. Not sure I'm willing to drive to Benicia for it.

 

Thanks for posting this!
