Weekend Amateur Radio License Course – TECHNICIAN – New England Sci-Tech

 

[Rkelly5803]

Is it to late to sign up for the general class? Only reason I ask is it says they send you materials a week before the class. Just got my tech Friday KC1KVW and want to upgrade before I get too busy again.

 

[Shark_Cage]

I took the General class there. You’ll be fine, just get a good nights sleep before.

 

[qwert77]

Sorry I just saw this. Did you end up signing up?

If you have tech fresh in your head it should be fine.

I took the Technicians course at New England Sci-Tech in January. I would highly recommend it.

 

[Rkelly5803]

I did sign up and I passed today. They did a great job over there. I do wish I had studied a little more on my own however Bob did great getting me ready for the test.

 

[Sig21]

NEST is a great resource, the radio club there has some nice equipment and very knowledgeable folks as well if you are looking to play on the radios or just learn.

Congratulations!

Don’t stop there do yourself a favor and learn code. Best thing you can do for a ham radio career.

I’m one of those old codgers that think they should’ve never removed it from the licensing requirement. I believe it added a lot of dedication to obtaining a license. Requires a person to give up quite a bit of time and energy to actually learn something new more than just a technical aspects. I try to encourage all the new hams I come in contact with to learn code on their own even though it’s not required anymore.

Question. I’ve got a ten year to get through this exam.

What would you change with his/her study habits to get the license?

My guy joined at the last minute s he had no exposure. The first day is really long for the little ones (8:30-5:00). There are some really great apps that help quiz you on the questions. Once he is comfortable he will retake.

We also have a great youth club at New England Sci-Tech where students of all ages are welcome. The club was formed by youth and is run by youth. (with help from leadership)

We also offer a 5 day course which usually makes it easier for younger students to pace themselves vs the weekend "crash course."

NARS (Nashua Area Radio Society) just did classes for Tech and General. The class for Extra is in 2 weeks and is now wait-listed. IIRC they run them again in the Fall.
