Instead of offering traditional ham radio license classes, CLARA provides Ham Help Workshops to guide and mentor people learning about ham radio. If you don’t have an amateur (ham) radio license, we will show you how to study for and pass the exam. If you have a ham radio license, we will help you take the next steps in getting on the air and having fun with radio. We are here to help!

Sat Jan 11th 2 pm Ham Help Workshop

Location: Casa Del Rio Clubhouse in Buena Vista, 27665 County Road 313 #24

The main topic for this workshop will be Getting On The Air With HF. We will put together a simple HF station and demonstrate how to make contacts.

We typically cover these topics, customized to meet the needs of the attendees:

  • Guidance and coaching on how to get your ham radio (Technician) license.
  • Guidance and coaching on how to upgrade to the General or Extra license.
  • Help with making your first VHF/UHF ham radio contact.
  • Help with programming your VHF/UHF radio (we program the radios for you).
  • Help with learning how to program your VHF/UHF radios using Chirp or similar software.
  • Demonstrations of operating a ham radio station (VHF/UHF and HF)
  • <other topics by request, as needed>

Registration is not required but it is best to let us know that you are attending along with what you need help with.
