License Classes are Open for Registration

The Nashua Area Radio Society Winter/Spring 2020 License Classes are Open for Registration.  The classes will be held at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua on the following dates:

  • Technician Class: January 18th and 19th
  • General Class: February 22nd and 23rd
  • Extra Class: March 20th, 21st, and 22nd

We will conduct a VE exam session on Sunday at the end of each class.

Our classes are based on the Gordon West license manuals.  We go over every question in the question pool twice and provide many demos to reinforce the material. Our demos will also give you a flavor of what you can do with your license.

During our class, we go over every question in the pool two times. We provide many hands-on demonstrations during the class.  You will have the opportunity to observe and make contacts using a working radio station. These and many other demos will help you remember the information and give you some knowledge to get started once you have your license.  Our instructors are passionate about Amateur Radio and will pass their enthusiasm on to you.  We have a success rate of over 90%.

In order to maximize your ability to pass the exam that is held at the end of the class, you will need to complete pre-work.  You will need to read the Gordon West License Class book for the level and complete an open book “fill in the blanks” assignment that you will receive when you register.
