Press release
When disaster strikes and your cell phone doesn’t work, Amateur “Ham” Radio does! There’s never been a better time to obtain your ham radio license and get “on the air” with others in the lake area.
The Cedar Creek Amateur Radio Club will hold a one-day class on Saturday, April 26, that will allow students to obtain their ham radio license. This class will follow the same format as one held last fall, in which sixteen local residents received their licenses and are now enjoying ham radio.
At the end of the day, students will take the 30 question multiple choice examination for the Technician class license. Within a week, students can check the FCC online system for their callsign.
The instructor, George Yarger, has helped dozens of interested individuals obtain their license through his unique “Ham-cram” class. No technical experience is necessary… just a desire to join the ranks of ham radio operators, a unique hobby that is both fun and a community resource.
Students will learn enough to be able to pass the exam, and, from there, members of the local club will mentor students to help get them “on the air.”
The class itself is free, as is the FCC license. There is a $10 fee for electronic processing and submittal of the exam.
The class will be held at the Harbor Baptist Church, 12059 State Highway 198, Payne Springs, on Saturday, April 26, at 9 a.m. Those interested are asked to pre-register by sending their name, email address and phone number to [email protected]
Formed in 1981, the Cedar Creek Amateur Club is a 501(c)(7) nonprofit organization with over 40 members from Henderson, Kaufman and Van Zandt counties. CCARC provides several on-air services to area hams, and supports both the Henderson County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) and the National Weather Service SKYWARN program.
