So you Want to be a Ham!
Our group of volunteer instructors (pictured above) want to help guide you on this incredible journey into one of the most fascinating hobbies you can be involved in!
Our goal is to help you to obtain your FCC Licenses, and to become a knowledgeable, productive and courteous operator - with the incredible side effect of having fun. We do not teach the tests. We teach the subjects necessary to be a well rounded Ham, and by doing so, you will pass the tests. You will learn rules and regulations, proper operating procedures, how electronic components and basic circuits work, what modes of communications are available, antennas, safety and much more! We mix in hands-on mini-labs on multiple topics, and even offer additional free classes on radio related topics after your licenses.
This is a Unique Course! We have combined both the Technician (entry level) and General (mid level) courses together. This will make it possible to take both the Technician and General Class Exams in the same testing session. Why? Because it saves you time and money while getting you all the way to the General Class license, which has the advantage of opening the HF bands to your use - right from the start of your Amateur Radio experience! The course runs approximately 10-12 weeks on Saturdays, depending on holiday breaks and the effort and experience of each class. There is no cost for these class sessions, but discounted textbooks are available through the instructors (Bring cash or check to the Meet & Greet for 2 textbooks x $25.00ea = $50.00). At the end of the course there is a $15.00 test fee. You can purchase these text books through us at the class for a 25 percent savings and no S&H. For further information contact; Curt, KF7VZV Email: care.ham.class@gmail.com Phone: 541-261-2648 ( Or use the Contact Form! ) UPCOMING CLASS:
The C.A.R.E. Club provides a Technician/General Class Licensing Course approximately twice a year. Again, this course runs about 10-12 weeks in length. Our next class has begun! The first session was on Saturday, January 11th, 2020 at 9AM. There is still a little room for you...! Use the Contact Form if you are interested in joining us. Sessions are held at Fire Station #4, located near the corner of Table Rock Rd. and Berrydale, next to Railroad Park. (see map on right) (Please contact us with the form on this page and we can add you to the list - class size is limited, and class materials are available on site.) We have put together some basic information for you to look through, giving you a better idea of what Amateur Radio is, what is expected in our classes, and what you can expect from us...

Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES)
Participation in Amateur Radio also gives you the opportunity to help others in an emergency.
