(banner) "when you pass the test you have just begun the journey" Extra Class Instruction Get your name on the list and the Lead Instructor will get back to you when the details are all confirmed. See below for Point of Contact (POC) information. The course
costs $25 for non-DBARA members. Students will need to obtain the textbook: ARRL's Extra Class License Manual. You can purchase the book directly from the ARRL online or by Students are encouraged to make use of the HBC Student Yahoo Group electronic mail program to ask questions, keep up to date on potential date changes and use it as a learning aid or tool. Also all home work assignments and material are available at www.hambonecollege.com There is room for 20 students so if you would like to take this class get your reservation in early. Once your seat has been reserved, please order the textbook and read Chapter 1 prior to the first class.
