JTRG Sponsored Amateur Radio Exams
There are numerous aspects to the hobby of Amateur Radio
including electronics, event communications, DX or
long-distance communications, digital and satellite
communications, etc., but certainly one of the most
important involves emergency communications. Amateur
Radio Operators have been an important part of
communicating information during and immediately
following numerous disasters. The expression coined
within the Amateur Radio community that best captures
this is, "When all else fails, Amateur Radio works!"
If you have an interest in any of these aspects of the hobby,
JTRG would like to help you get there. There are three
levels of licensing in Amateur Radio - Technician, General and
Extra. Beginning with Technician, each level requires the
successful completion of an examination. The cost of each exam
is $15.00.
STUDY MATERIAL
Study books and tapes can be purchased from the
ARRL and online bookstores such as
Amazon.com and locally like a
Barnes & Noble.
ONLINE TESTING
There are numerous sites offering online pre-testing which is an
excellent way to test your knowledge and prepare for test day!
