A two-day amateur radio class will be held on Saturday October 17th and Sunday October 18th at North Seattle College.

We provide emergency communications support to the City of Seattle in times of need.

The class will introduce participants to amateur radio practice and prepare them to pass their amateur-radio license exam, which will be held at the conclusion of the class on the 18th. 

The class is free. There is a test fee of $15 to be collected by the exam team; FCC license fees are $35, and collected at the time a license is issued. Participants may take the class without taking the license exam.
