COCC will offer a one-day class on February 10, 8:30- 5:30. In times of disaster cell phones and land lines may not operate. Ham radio operators have been the lifeline for communities for decades.
You can learn the licensing requirements and how to operate a radio from your own home.
The cost is $49. A second class may be offered in March.
The course prepares students for the entry level "Technician Class" radio license. It is sanctioned by the American Radio Relay League and the Federal Communications Commission.
