RAGS host ham radio license class, exam
THE GORGE — Radio Amateurs of the Gorge (RAGS) is hosting a review session for the introductory Technician Amateur Radio License at the Hood River Fire Department Training Room, 1785 Meyer Parkway, Hood River, on Friday, Nov. 15 from 5:30-9 p.m., and again on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Attendees should bring their own lunch.
The review session is free, as are study materials and practice exams provided upon registration. Attendees are expected to self-study before the session. The exam is $15, free to those under 18.
After successfully completing the examination, the FCC requires an additional $35 fee for the new license (paid directly to the FCC). The Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL), the national association for amateur radio, will reimburse the $35 fee for those under 18 years of age.
The exam for all license classes (Technician, General, and Extra) will begin at 4:30 p.m., also at the Hood River Fire Department. The examinations are now conducted electronically and participants will be required to bring their own device (smart phone, iPad, tablet, and laptop) to take the exam.
