Extra Prerequisites

Home ] Up ]

 

Before taking the Extra Class course, you should have the following:

  1. Your Handiham membership should be current.  This course is for current members.
  2. You should already hold a General Class or Advanced Class amateur radio license or equivalent.  You are welcome to listen and participate even if you do not have these qualifications, since the math and theory may help you to some extent in understanding the basic licensing questions.  However, you really should be studying at the appropriate license level.  In the United States and most other countries, you will be required to take examinations in the basic entry-level and a mid-level amateur radio license class prior to taking the highest level.  In the United States, the Extra Class is the highest level of license in the amateur radio service.
  3. Have your study materials available if you wish to use anything to supplement these lectures.  They are pretty complete, so it is up to you whether you want any other books or audio materials.  You really don't have to have anything else.  If you do want to find out what we have for Extra Class study materials, you may contact Nancy at HANDIHAM headquarters: 1-866-426-3442 toll-free or email her at hamradio@couragecenter.org
