It all came about because in conversation through the years many people had expressed to me feeling more comfortable receiving instruction in a classroom setting rather than learning on their own. This led to the formation of the organization.
So why do a class? Well as I always like to say “if you’re going to walk through a minefield follow someone who’s already walked through it.”
Our main focus centers around offering quarterly training classes for the entry level (Technician Class) license. We began by assembling a team of instructors who are key members from the various radio clubs in the Capital District who were interested in doing class instruction.
We are at the cutting edge of the latest information since our hobby is very transient in nature. We try to assist our graduates and anyone else interested in continuing education to help them enjoy the Amateur Radio experience. Additionally we offer training on how to become a Volunteer Examiner, answer questions concerning license upgrading, periodically offer live demonstration programs, conduct group activities, provide monthly tidbits and happenings with our all new CARE Blast and much, much, more.
I invite you to take advantage of our web page. It has been set up with additional links and information to assist you as you progress in this great hobby. If you are interested in getting started in Amateur Radio or have questions feel free in contacting me directly.
We hope you enjoy it!
