Are you interested in Amateur or Ham Radio? Ham Radio is fun and a great way to learn about computers, electronics, and wireless communications. It also provides many opportunities to make some amazing friends around the world! Click on the video above to learn what Amateur Radio is about and what you can do with an Amateur Radio License.

Getting Your License and Upgrading To General or Extra Class

An Amateur Radio License allows you to operate a transmitter and make contacts locally and around the world! We can use a wide range of frequencies all across the radio spectrum to have fun with Ham Radio. It is easy to earn your License. The Nashua Area Radio Society offers hands-on license training classes for all levels of Amateur Radio Licenses twice each year.

Our classes take place over a single weekend. They feature demonstrations and opportunities to Get On The Air and try Ham Radio.

We conduct a license testing session at the end of each of our classes so you can take your license exam at the same time as your class.

Many folks in the New England region make the trip to New Hampshire for a weekend to take our classes. There are several affordable hotel options near-by for folks who need them. You can learn more about our license training classes here. You can register to join one of our classes here.

Getting On The Air and Learning New Skills

Perhaps you’ve already earned your license and you want to learn how to put together a station and get on the air? Maybe you’d like to try a new Ham Radio Activity and you could use some help to learn how to do it?

The Nashua Area Radio Society provides several training programs to help folks to get on the air and to learn new skills. One such program is our Ham Bootcamp which we will be offering at HamXposition @ Boxboro on September 7th from 9 am-noon. Ham Bootcamp is all about getting on the air. It is designed to help Technician and General License holders to put together a station and begin making contacts. You can learn more about Ham Bootcamp here.

We also provide a monthly Technical Training program that we call Tech Night. Tech Night programs provide how-to information on a wide range of Amateur Radio topics including, building, operating, and improving your station and your Amateur Radio skills and knowledge. You can learn more about our Tech Nigh Program and see the topics what we’ve covered here.

We create professionally edited videos of each of our Tech Night programs. We make these available to our members through our website. Click on the video above to see a sample video from one of our Tech Nights.

Online Ham Radio Training and Skills Development

We understand that many Hams will live too far away from us here in New Hampshire to be regular members so we have created an online Internet Subscription option. An Internet Subscription enables folks who live outside New Hampshire and Massachusettes to take advantage of our Tech Night and other online training programs. You can learn more about our membership options including our Internet Subscriptions here.
