CERT is hosting a Technician class and test. It is done over the 15th and 22nd of January. It is two Saturdays. I believe the class will be the 15th and the morning of the 22nd then the testing in the afternoon. I believe you have to attend both days.Confirming the date and time but Marion County Emergency Management/CERT will be hosting a tech exam at the EOC near the end of this month. Pretty sure the 28th but I’ll post up the details when I get them.
The Hamilton County ARRL guys did a class like this a few years ago. Started at 8 am and we tested for our tech ticket at 3 or 4 that afternoon. It was a great way to get started.CERT is hosting a Technician class and test. It is done over the 15th and 22nd of January. It is two Saturdays.

You can get more information on Eventbrite app, search for CERT. Class is held at the Marion County EEOC off Shadeland Ave.
I was told to study for Technician and General both. When I went to test and passed the Technician they handed me the next test. I got a better score on the General than I did on the first test. Probably because I quit studying the Technician when I started looking at the General. If it seams easy, study for both and save a trip.Can anyone advise me on where I can go to take my technician license at?
I took my two tests a few months apart and did about twice as well on general. I wonder how common it is. Extra kicked my ass got like a 40% after studying for 3 monthsI was told to study for Technician and General both. When I went to test and passed the Technician they handed me the next test.

If you're in Indy and join the CERT team, they have free HAM trainings and a comms teamI don't know about everyone else out there, but I would like to become involved with radio communications club. I can't think of a better group of folks that I would like to learn the basics from.

I passed the general test tonight and got done pretty quick. I tried the Extra test just to see how hard it is going to be and it is going to take a lot of studying to pass!I took my two tests a few months apart and did about twice as well on general.

That is the common response to seeing the Extra test! There is such a wide variety of information and little of it is anything you can logically figure out. I forget the book I used but it only covered the correct answers to the questions. The thought was that you’d recognize the correct answers sine you had never seen the wrong answers. It worked pretty well for me! I read about 30 minutes a day through the week for about a month and passed safely.I passed the general test tonight and got done pretty quick.

Congrats!Well, after thinking I need to do this for the last 10 years, my son and I went and took the technician test on Saturday. We both passed, and will hopefully have our ID's tomorrow or Tuesday. Now to start studying for the general,and hopefully take that test next month.
AssholesIf you are thinking about an upgrade or getting your license, do it now. As of April 19th, the FCC will be charging $35 for new and upgrades.
Congrats on passing, now get ready for the general so you can play some HF voice. We need an INGO 80m or 160m net, any takers?Well, after thinking I need to do this for the last 10 years, my son and I went and took the technician test on Saturday.
