Training Materials and Resources:
The Athens County Amateur Radio Association usually conducts an annual class to prepare for the entry-level Technician license starting around January each year if there is enough interest. Notice of the class will appear here and on the home page. We will finish the class by conducting our own test session. We will also offer a follow-up test session at our hamfest which is usually the last Sunday in April. For questions or to register contact: webmaster@ac-ara.org

Study materials for ham radio licensing may be found at any of the links below. Anyone wishing to test for the Technician license after July 1, 2006 should obtain study materials for the test pool questions effective that date. The question pool has changed significantly. Don't try to test using the old test pool questions. Learning Morse code is not a requirement for any class license now. Links for Morse code training are included as it is helpful to begin studying code when you begin your Technician license study if you wish to operate CW as you move up in license class.
Exam sessions in the area are listed on our master club calendar or search the exams or hamfests databases below.
The listing of the following links on this page do not represent any particular endorsement by the ACARA of any of the study materials available from these vendors. They are merely listed to assist potential new hams in finding study materials that may not be readily available at a local bookstore.
