- | If you have any questions about the course, or any other topic related | + | LARC will once again be offering a course to enable interested people to get their ham radio license. It will be a little different this year due the the pandemic, but we will still cover all the material, provide lots of opportunities to get your questions answered, and administer a final exam that qualifies you for the license issued by the Canadian government. |
- | Doug Elliott | + | ==== Goal of the Course ==== |
- | email: canoe.eh@gmail.com or instructor@larc.ca | + | The goal of this course is to enable you to become a licensed amateur radio operator (also known as a “ham”), so you can take part in the wonderful world of ham radio. The license that you will receive after writing the exam is issued by the federal Canadian government, and is yours for life, with no additional fees. Along with the license comes your personal call sign, such as VA3DAE, used to identify you on the air. |
+ | |||
+ | To achieve this goal, you will need to read the assigned chapters in the study guide before each class, attend the classes where the instructor will review, reinforce and demonstrate the material, and test yourself periodically to ensure you have a good understanding of the topics you have studied. | ||
+ | |||
+ | An important goal is the health and safety of all participants, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Prerequisites ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Age: There is no age limitation for Canadian Ham Licenses. We have had students from 11 to 81 take the course and become active operators. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Citizenship: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Prerequisite training: There is no need for you to have any particular training before taking our course. You don’t have to be a math wizard, or have a technical background. Our course is longer than some other courses because we cover all the material from the ground up, making no assumptions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Course Delivery: To ensure the health and safety of everyone involved, we're delivering this course over the Internet, using the popular Zoom software. This requires that students have an internet access device ( PC, Mac, Smartphone, Tablet ), and devices with a larger display are preferable to make it easier to see the presentations. A reliable Internet access is also required. An attached camera is desirable, but not mandatory, but a microphone is needed to allow you to ask questions. If you have any questions, or would like to test your setup, get in touch with the Education Coordinator using the contact details at the top of this page. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We try to accommodate students with disabilities and have had successful students with visual impairments and learning disabilities. We can do the final exam orally if needed. | ||
