Ham radio is both a fun hobby and a useful skill to have during emergencies or for event coordination. This class will familiarize you with the basic knowledge necessary to pass the 35 question exam for the entry level (Technician) ham radio license. Session 1, which is given a week before the ham exams, will cover the basic technical background as well as strategies for learning the answers to the rote-memorization exam questions, and will also include some short presentations/demos on "fun things that you can do with your ham license." Session 2, which is given on the same day as the ham exams (see w1mx.mit.edu for more information), will be a more focused and fast-paced comprehensive overview of the test material. Attendance at both sessions is recommended, but not required.
