This class is part of the upcoming Nevada Section Amateur Radio Convention at Boomtown in Reno. There will also be a trade show, vendors, prizes, ham swap, speakers, and ham fun!
Class cost is $35 + $15 additional test cost.
For full information, go to NVCON(dot)org and go to "One Day Tech Class." There's info on the study material, a website with sample tests, and even a site with free learning material! I use the Gordon West book which I think is much easier than the ARRL material. The new book is available from W5YI(dot)org.
Special Note: The question pool changes on July 1 so be sure to study the 2018-2022 material. There's lots of the Old material around that will be outdated on June 30! Be sure to study the 2018-2022 material!
You do have to read the book first but I've done 15 or 20 of these classes and almost everybody passes! This is not a Cram or complete class but a FastClass with a last minute Review of all 423 questions in the pool with some explanations, demonstrations, extra info, and actual teaching and learning thrown in! The book and the test are at a Middle School level so think "7th & 8th Grade." I've had students from age 9 to 94 who have passed the test so you can too. Try a sample test: Most adults get about 50% if they read the questions and answers carefully. You only need 74% to pass so you're most of the way there!
Questions? Call me at 775/843-6443 and be sure to mention that you are with NNPG!
I get a lot of "will I pass the test?" questions and the answer is almost always Yes if you do your part!!
