Thanks for stopping by to visit our website! If you have not yet joined the wonderful world of Amateur Radio by obtaining your license, there is no time like the present to get started. The initial ham license is the Technician license and the exam consists of just 35 questions. There are several online sites where you can study for the exam and take a practice test, and there are also books, e.g. the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual 5th Edition, that can be purchased directly from the Amateur Radio Relay League’s website or from Amazon. The Owensboro Amateur Radio Club will have a licensing session at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 8 at the Owensboro Health Park at 1006 Ford Avenue in Owensboro, and we encourage you to study for the exam for a week or two before taking the test. The license exam fee is $15.00.. Review this page to see what you should bring with you to the exam session.
Whether you are a new ham, a seasoned ham, or not yet licensed, we invite you to attend our next club meeting which will be on Tuesday, November 18 at 7:00 p.m. in classroom 18A of the Owensboro Community Technical College building at 1501 Frederica Street in Owensboro, KY. We would love to have you as a member!
