Amateur Extra Class Study Group
Starts Thursday February 27

Thinking about upgrading to Amateur Extra? Now is the perfect time as a new question pool goes into effect July 1st. Consider joining our Amateur Extra Class Study Group and get your upgrade before the tests change! The study group is intended to be a self-led discussion group, with a participant serving as facilitator to guide the discussion topic each week. This will not be a classroom environment with a teacher out front, but rather a group of people talking through theories, concepts or discussing any questions that participants may have.  The discussion leader rotates through the study group weekly.

Extra Class Licensees who wish to share in discussions based on their areas of expertise or experience are welcome to attend any sessions.

The study guide will be the ARRL Extra Class License Manual 11th Edition. You may order your copy online from arrl.org, Amazon, or ham radio retailer such as Ham Radio Outlet at hamradio.com; DX Engineering at dxengineering.com, or Main Trading Co. at mtcradio.com. A Kindle version is also available.
