Our last Technician License Preparation Class for 2017 begins on Thursday, November 2nd, at 6:00 pm at the Niwot Fire Station. If you or anyone you know might be interested in getting your beginner-level Amateur Radio License before the holidays, this is the class for you! This class offers the same material as our other Technician classes, with 24 hours of training. However, it will be condensed over a 9-day period using weeknights and two Saturdays, so you can get licensed without as much time committment as our usual month-long classes. We will cover exactly the same things that our normal class offers. Get more information and/or register today by clicking on the Education link on the left to reserve one of the seven seats left!

This month Ron Schwartz (K2RAS) will provide the group a LIVE night of HF activity using a Flex 6500 SDR radio. The SDR will provide visual examples of different digital, CW, and voice transmission modes on different bands. Examples of real-time effects of filters, and noise mitigation will also be covered. Members will be able to try HF contacts around the world, conditions permitting. Don't miss this exciting evening.

On August 14, 2017, one of our members, AD0WU, petitioned the Commission to add an entry level license to Amateur Radio. Further, the Petition adds some structure to virtually vacant spectrum in our 70cm band for a nationwide FM repeater system built and run by Amateur Radio in partnership with FEMA's CERT program. See the Tyro Petition at: www.2HTI.com
