-The course will be presented on Saturday mornings from September 11 to December 11, excluding the Thanksgiving Weekend (no class October 9). Each session runs from 9 AM to approximately noon, with a couple of breaks. You will be able to connect to the meeting 20 minutes before it starts, and you are encouraged to arrive early, especially if you aren't familiar with Zoom. We will also have a Zoom practice meeting a few days before September 12, so you can try out Zoom if you haven't used it much, and get the hang of it before classes start. An invitation to this session will be emailed to registered students around September 9. (Another good reason to register early!)+The course will be presented on Saturday mornings from September 11 to December 11, excluding the Thanksgiving Weekend (no class October 9).

-The first session on September 12 is an introduction and overview of Ham radio and will be informal, like all of our sessions. Nothing in this first session will be on the exam, and we'll try to answer all your questions and explain what ham radio's all about, as well as the structure of the course.+The first session on September 11 is an introduction and overview of Ham radio and will be informal, like all of our sessions.

-The last session on December 11 will NOT be a Zoom session, but will be held in person at the 427 Wing where the club's radio station is located. All COVID-19 recommended procedures will be followed, and we will not do anything to risk anyone's health. The exam is administered by senior members of our club who are volunteer examiners accredited by the Canadian government. They're also instructors for the course.+The last session on December 11 will NOT be a Zoom session, but is currently planned to be held in person at the 427 Wing where the club's radio station is located.

 The exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions, each with 4 possible answers, and there is no practical time limit. The pass mark is 70% but you really want to get 80%, which gets you the privileges to do international radio communications. There are websites that let you do practice exams for each chapter in the study guide, and full practices exams as well. We will assist you with the paperwork required to submit the exam results and get your ham license and personal call sign from the government. This is usually complete within a week of writing the exam. The exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions, each with 4 possible answers, and there is no practical time limit.
