FARS - General Class Amateur Radio License CourseDear Students, This page provides a course syllabus showing what is being taught on each class date. Use this as your guide on where you should be in the reading. Also, you may want to bring a copy of each presentation with you to the class session to help you follow along. We plan to put each of the presentations on-line a few days before it is presented. This page contains resources for presenting a course on the General Class Amateur Radio License. There are 9 hours of training material here to be used to teach teach the course presented by FARS in the spring of 2011. Also included is a course syllabus and some guidance on taking the General Class License Examination. We make this material available to other non-profit amateur radio groups to use to put on similar courses, but we ask that credit be given to FARS for developing these presentations. Please include a link to this page http://k6ya.org/classes/class2011. Promotional PDF flyer and sign-up form for the Spring 2012 FARS General Class. Questions to: kn6qi AT arrl.net. The following syllabus is subect to change.
Session 1 starts at 7pm; Session 2 starts at 8pm. You may get a sneak preview of the class presenations at the 2011 class resources page. This page shows the syllabus, instructors, and presentations used for the 2011 class. The 2012 presentations have been updated to reflect changes in the question pool for the General Class License Examination, so they are somewhat different from the 2011 versions.
