Become a Ham

The GOBA communications staff is planning to offer an ARRL-VEC ham radio testing session in our anchor city of Logan for GOBA 22.

Saturday, June 19th, 2010
Norwalk - Hocking County Fairgrounds, Location TBA
Registration starts at 2:30
Testing at 3:00 PM
Cost is $15
Bring a photo ID or two forms of non-photo ID

We mainly plan to test for the Element 2 exam. If time permits, we may do Elements 3 and 4.  If you plan to take an upgrade exam, please bring photocopies of your license and any applicable CSCEs along with the originals. (The photocopies must be submitted with the paperwork and will not be returned.)

To study for the test, you will need a study guide for the FCC Element 2 exam for the question pool effective July 1, 2006.  Study guides for the test pool before this date will not work.  You may purchase the "Ham Radio License Manual" text online from the ARRL.

Information on amateur radio nationally may be found at the ARRL homepage, and in Ohio may be found at the Ohio Section website.
