Amateur Radio Technician License Class. (Cheyenne, WY)

Attention Future Amateur Radio Operators!

I would like to invite anyone interested in obtaining their Amateur Radio Technician License to an upcoming class beginning April 1st 7pm at the CLCEMA office at 3962 Archer Parkway, Cheyenne, WY.  Classes will be each week on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and conclude with a test session on May 18th at 9am.  The class will be using the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual 5th Edition.  Manuals can be ordered at the time of registration for a discounted price of $25.  

The class will review the material covered in the Technician License question pool as well as information that is good to know as a ham radio operator.  Everyone has busy schedules and other commitments which is why attendance is not required, but encouraged.  A Zoom option will also be available for those that are unable to travel or live out of town.  The class is merely a tool that is offered and is available to whatever degree the student needs.

Please feel free to forward this information and the registration link to anyone interested in the class.  After registration, communications leading up to and during the class will primarily be through email.

Amateur Radio

Folks wishing to get involved with Amateur Radio shouldn’t be afraid, however find that they are truly passionate about wanting to learn more about the hobby. It has been a well known statement that having an Amateur Radio License is a license to learn.

Amateur Radio Operators are individuals that have been licensed with the FCC to operate on specific Radio Frequencies. The term Amateur in this title means that no operator shall be paid for their services rather we are all volunteers.

To get started, come to the next in person meeting. Showing up to meetings is beneficials for multiple reasons, first of which is to see if there are any trainings that can help you through the certifications. Being at the meeting will not only show that you are an active member, but will allow others to see your capabilities so they know who to call upon in the event of an emergency.

Short answer is yes. To operate under the Armature Radio Frequencies, you do need to have an Amateur Radio License. This is obtained by passing a test, there are few different licensing levels, first level being a technician license. Each license class authorizes the operator to have more privileges. Under the FCC Rules 47 C.F.R, Part 97, you can find the full details.
