Due to the Gamecocks game, testing has moved to Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, 1541 Lake Murray Blvd. Irmo, SC 29063.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

SCHEART will be offering Ham (Amateur) Radio classes in September of 2022. This is for Technician, General and Extra. All classes will be running from September 19th through 23rd.<\/strong> from 6pm to 9pm. Some classes will not take the whole week, but will finish when all the material is covered. These classes run concurrently. You can only choose one of the classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re presenting the classes by video conference using Zoom (http:\/\/zoom.us<\/a> ) If you didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have the time to attend in person before, now is your chance. Email me at midlandsve@gmail.com<\/a>. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll forward your email to your instructor and they will send you an invitation to the video conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a tutorial on how to use zoom: https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/y8hbdlvr

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never used videoconferencing before, Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a couple of tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a headset or headphones. Any headphones that plug into your computer will do. Even the wired ones that came with your cell phone, if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s using the 1\/8\u00e2\u20ac\u009d plug. This eliminates feedback when you unmute your microphone.
Mute your microphone when not speaking to the instructor. Otherwise the class will hear any background noise from your computer.
Find the text\/ chat function and use it.
New hams will have to start out with the Technician course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All classes are free. If you wish to attend, RSVP to MidlandsVE@gmail.com<\/a>. Be sure to tell me which class you want to take and include you cell number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing will be offered on September 24th<\/strong> at 08:30 am  at SCETV headquarters, 1041 George Rogers Blvd in Columbia.  We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll 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 and $10.00 cash. If a child is testing and has no photo I.D., bring a copy of a birth certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re coming for testing only, email us so we can plan accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
