The General Class license is the second of three US Amateur Radio licenses. To upgrade to General Class, you must already hold a Technician Class license. Upgrading to a General license–which conveys extensive HF privileges—only requires passing a written examination. Once you do, the entire range of operating modes and the majority of the amateur spectrum below 30 MHz become available to you. The FCC grants exam Element 3 credit to individuals that previously held certain older types of licenses. Find valid forms of Examination Element Credit.

Join us 7:30 pm for our regular meeting on February 10, 2020 at the Medina County Senior Center aka: Medina County Office for Older Adults, 246 Northland Drive, Basement Medina 44256.
