Chris Bouck, amateur radio callsign KB4CMF, announces that the association will be teaching an entry level Technician Class licensing course, from 9 September 2025 through 9 December 2025. Classes are scheduled to be taught at the Town of German Flatts building on State Route 5S adjacent to the old Fort Herkimer Church between Herkimer and Little Falls. Classes will run each Tuesday night for 13 weeks. Classes will be from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM. Classes will not meet if any Tuesday is a holiday or there is inclement weather that day. The cost of the course is $40.00 and includes the book. The instructors can order the book from the ARRL at cost - which is usually less than the commercial price. The class is open to all ages. Each student will be provided the book The Ham Radio License Manual Everything You Need To Get Your First Ham Radio License published by the American Radio Relay League ARRL 5th Edition. If students already have the book, then the price of the book will be deducted from the fee. Subjects include welcome to amateur radio, radio and electronics fundamentals, operating station equipment, communicating with other hams, Federal Communication Commission rules and regulations, operating an amateur radio station, radio wave propagation, antennas and transmission lines, repeaters, radio safety and many helpful hints and tips. The book is easy to understand and has bite-sized sections. It includes the latest question pool with an answer key. It is designed for self-study or for classroom use and now includes a guide for choosing the right radio. Many tips and practical demonstrations will be included giving the students hands on experience. Classes will follow the chapters and format of the book, and is a valuable resource for later reference after the class. The book contains the entire question pool and answers candidates will see on the FCC exam.
