Delaware-Lehigh Amateur Radio Club

Delaware-Lehigh Amateur Radio Club offers free classes to prepare interested persons for the short entry-level FCC amateur radio license test and the start of enjoyment in amateur radio communications. For people currently holding the entry-level license, the club also offers free classes to prepare for the test to upgrade to the general class license.

Classes for both entry-level and general-class licenses will start 7-9 p.m. Sept. 4 and run for 10 Tuesday evenings at Gracedale complex, 2 Gracedale Ave., Nazareth. The FCC license test will be offered on the last Tuesday.

Here’s a chance for you to learn about amateur radio in emergency communication, in public service events, radio contests or casual conversations with other people potentially anywhere in the world.

You’ll learn how radios and antennas work, how to set up and operate a station - at home, in your vehicle and while you walk using a small hand-held radio - and more.

If you are within the age range of approximately 8 to 80 years old and have an interest in amateur radio, you qualify for enrollment.

More information about amateur radio can be found on our local DLARC website, dlarc.org/club-info/classes, and the national association’s website, arrl.org/what-is-ham-radio.

To register for the classes or if you are curious and have questions, call 610-432-8286 or email ke3aw@arrl.com.
