Amateur Radio General Class License Course Offered Starting January

If you have a Technician Class license and are looking to expand your Amateur Radio experience, this course will prepare you for taking the mid-level Amateur Radio General Class license test. In addition to the privileges allowed a Technician Class license, the General Class license allows you to operate on a wide range of HF bands, as well as frequencies up into the Gigahertz.

This program is presented at no charge in partnership with the Library and the Schaumburg Amateur Radio Club.

The course consists of 12 classes starting Saturday, Jan. 14, through Saturday, April 1 from 10:30am to 12:30pm at the Hoffman Estates Branch Library's Meeting Room.
