Message from Roger Mullens Just Runs:
JustRuns/SCCX encourages members to obtain their Amateur Radio Operator license and install a 2 meter radio in their vehicle for safety and convenience. The class below is a great way to earn your license.

Ham Radio Class
Registration is open for the 29-Mar Amateur Radio Technician License class.
Please Register Well In Advance -- classes can fill two or three weeks before the date.
One Day Amateur Radio Technician License Class: Saturday, 29-Mar, Poway Area-
This is an entry-level class for beginners, immediately followed by the license examination. Those who pass the end-of-the-day exam will receive a radio license and call sign from the FCC which entitles them to transmit on VHF and UHF Amateur Radio frequencies (range of about 50 miles).
Previous knowledge about radio or electricity is not required to take the class or pass the exam. (However, a few hours of study and practice exams before class dramatically improves most people's ability to pass the exam.)
Times: From 8:30 AM (sharp) to about 7:00 PM for both the class and exam. (Plan to arrive 08:15.)
(This includes hourly breaks and a 45 minute lunch.)
Location: Poway area (details provided later to those registered (see below))
Costs: The Examination immediately after class normally costs $5 (and is at most $15).
There is no charge for the class itself.
Eligibility: Anyone properly following emailed registration instructions is eligible.
Age limit: None (contact us for teen and pre-teen considerations)
Registration: Advance Registration is Required.
Seating is limited and classes often fill quickly.
Please Register Well In Advance!
Step 1: Request registration instructions by emailing sandiegohamclasses@me.com (as we usually have more than one class open for registration, please include at least "29-Mar Poway" in the subject of your message). You will receive a reply with registration instructions and study materials to review before class. (At times, there's a large email backlog and it can take a day or three to send your instructions.)
Step 2: Reply per the instructions. A prompt and complete reply is to your advantage - seats are reserved in the order complete replies are received. Those who do not follow instructions and register via email are ineligible to attend the class.
Additional notes;
1. We must have a working email address for each prospective attendee and be in direct email contact (we cannot accept proxy registrations). If you want to get a family member or friend started on the registration path, Cc: their email address when you email to request registration instructions. Your family member or friend will be sent the instructions, and will still need to reply per instructions.
2. If you are a member of a group that plans to have multiple people attend, please mention that group in your email.
Watch for additional email/reminders before class! There are only a couple....
Those registered will receive an email "reminder" about 10-14 days before class with details on location, times, what to bring, etc.
Those on the waiting list will receive an update about 7-10 days before class about whether space will be available.
