SCHEART will be offering Ham (Amateur) Radio classes in September of 2026. This is for Technician class. It will be running from September 21st to the 25th., on Zoom, from 6pm to 9pm. Testing will be on September 26th. The class may not take the whole week but will finish when all the material is covered.

There is a Program in the works for teaching general and extra class. Stay tuned.

We are presenting the classe by video conference using Zoom (http://zoom.us ) If you didn’t have the time to attend in person before, now is your chance. You can sign up here.

Here’s a tutorial on how to use zoom: https://tinyurl.com/3hj2tska

New hams must start out with the Technician course.

All classes are free. If you wish to attend, RSVP to [email protected]. I’ll need a real name, not a handle. Be sure to tell me which class you want to take and include you cell number.

Testing will be offered on September 26th at 9am at SCETV. 1041 George Rogers blvd in Columbia. We’ll take care of the administrative work first and start the testing at when the admin work is done. Bring a photo ID, an original and copy of any Ham Radio license, your FRN (without which, you may not test) and $10.00 cash. Exact change is appreciated. If a child is testing and has no photo I.D., bring a copy of a birth certificate. Also, once the FCC processes your application, they will want an additional $35.00. 

If you are testing for the first time, you must bring your FCC Registration Number (FRN), which you can get here:https://tinyurl.com/yayymn28

If you’re coming for testing only, email us so we can plan accordingly.
