FARS - General Class Amateur Radio License Course

This page contains resources for presenting a course on the General Class Amateur Radio License. There are 10 hours of training material that were used to teach teach the course presented by FARS in the spring of 2011. Also included is a course syllabus and some guidance on taking the General Class License Examination.

We make this material available to other non-profit amateur radio groups to use to put on similar courses, but we ask that credit be given to FARS for developing these presentations. Please include a link to this page http://k6ya.org/class2011.
