Jeff and Penny Dickerson will teach the General Class this summer at the clubhouse.  Class will start Tuesday, June 11, 2024 at 7 pm and continue through August.

The class is FREE!  The textbook is the ARRL General Class License Manual.  It can be found on Amazon (and other places) for about $30.

It is recommended that all students make an account on www.Hamstudy.org.  Going through the questions there is the easiest way to prepare for the test.

A Meshtastic Network is being installed on the 915 MHz band!

The “monkey” on top of the tower in the picture is Tom Madigan, N0WH.
