Amateur Radio Course at the Scotts Valley Library

May 27, 2019

I've signed up for an Amateur Radio Licensing Course offered by the Santa Cruz Public Libraries, at the Scotts Valley branch, six Wednesday evenings May 29-July 3.

I was excited to come across this course, even though I already have a license. The SMRS course last August was a great way to get the license quickly, but I still don't know enough to get started. I see the license as a license to learn, and that's what I'm trying to do now.

The upcoming course is free, including a copy of the textbook, 2018-2022 Technician Class. When I tried to sign up, the class was full, but I jumped on the waiting list. A few days later, a librarian emailed me to ask me to come pick up the book, and a few days ago another email included a syllabus and six workbooks to work through before each class.

I hope this will be a good way to actually get started in the hobby!
