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 satellitecommunications, 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 $14.00. Study books and tapes can be purchased online at http://www.arrl.com and there are numerous online sites that can be used for studying and test preparation including ARRL, QRZ, eHam, AA9PW, RadioExam, and others.

JTRG regularly sponsors Amateur Radio Exams which along with our other activities can be found on the club's calendar. Our next examination only session will be conducted at the Jupiter Old Town Hall, (1000 Town Hall Ave, Jupiter, FL) on Tuesday, August 19th at 6:30pm.. JTRG's next training and examination session will be held August 30th and 31st at the American Red Cross in West Palm Beach (link to additional information and Technician class flier.)
