Amateur radio, or “ham” radio, is a licensed radio service and hobby that allows users access to a wide array of the radio-frequency spectrum for non-commercial purposes, including wireless experimentation; communicating with other radio hobbyists across the nation and across the world; and helping respond to emergencies.
Amateur radio requires a license from the Federal Communications Commission, and training and support to use effectively.
A two-day amateur radio class will be held on Saturday September 6 and Saturday September 20 at the Meadowbrook Community Center.
The class will introduce participants to amateur radio practice, and prepare them to pass their license exam to be held at the conclusion of the class. The class is $20, paid to Seattle Parks & Rec, with scholarships available. There is a test fee of $15 to be collected by the exam team; FCC license fees are $35, and collected at the time a license is issued. Participants may take the class without taking the license exam.
