How our training classes are run:

Training takes place typically at the Whitman police stations modern training room facility. Ross follows the ARRL published license manual, reviewing the exam questions, discussing the answers and answering any questions from the students.

Ross also uses an online flashcard system projected at the front of the class for question review, presented with multiple choice answers as with the actual exam.

As mentioned earllier, there is no cost to attend the class!
