Getting New Licensees on the Air
Getting Started with Ham Radio: A Guide to Your FIRST Amateur Radio Station is a new volume that provides valuable information for new radio amateurs. Instructors may want to incorporate some of this material in licensing classroom curriculum or provide it as part of a follow up class after students receive their license.
David Haycock KI6AWR has developed a curriculum that is focused on practical skills to get new licensees comfortable with getting on the air. He has shared his course outline with us.
