Findlay Radio Club License Classes

Classes are now being conducted at the Club on Sunday afternoon beginning at 1 PM.

At 2 PM we open the class up to a general discussion period where we talk about whatever questions you might have.

That usually runs until about 5, although on some evenings it has been about 7 PM before I have gotten home.

We are currently (March 2025) finishing a General Class, and as soon as that is done we will roll right into a Amateur Extra Class and then back to Technician Class.
