Welcome to Ham Radio 101 where you will learn the why's and how's of Amateur Radio!

During our time together we will focus on the following topics:

What is ham radio and how does it work?
Why would someone want to become a ham radio operator?
How does someone become a licensed ham radio operator?
What are the benefits of belonging to your local amateur radio club?
What are some emergency situations where ham radio operators have benefitted their community?

This class will be a good mix of discussion and slides.  Learners do not need any previous knowledge or experience.

This class will introduce students to a unique hobby that will improve their communication, technical, and emergency response skills. It will also grow their circle of friends, and help them to become more self-reliant and of great value to their family and community in emergency situations.

I teach several Space, Science, History, Trades & Technology classes including; Analog Astronauts & Missions, Women in Space, Current Events in Space Technology & Rocket Launches, Billionaires in Space, Rockets in Space, Kerbal Space Program (Spaceflight Simulator to learn Rocket Science), The Science of Fireworks, Historic Antarctic Expeditions, Engineering using Minecraft & more!

Learning Goals

Students will understand what Ham Radio is.
Students will be able to decide if Ham Radio is a skill they wish to pursue, and how to pursue it if they wish.
Students will know what resources are available for them to use in their journey to become a Ham Radio Operator.
