Lake Area Radio Klub (WØWTN) Amateur Radio Class Info

LARK offers training for all license classes.

Lake Area Radio Klub is sponsoring a free general to extra upgrade class. This class will run for 5 consecutive weeks on Tuesday night from 7 to 9 PM in the small conference room of the Watertown Regional Library. The first class is this Tuesday, October 30th!

If you can't make all of the classes we still encourage you to attend.

After the class completes there will be an exam session at the Watertown Regional Library, Sunday December 2nd from 1 to 3 PM.

If you are attending the class you are strongly encouraged to register for free at: https://hamstudy.org/

The materials there are available to use as a guest without registering if you so choose. You do not need to buy the app, but may choose to if you wish.

We would also encourage you to check out: http://www.wavetalkers.com/
