There is a possibility of showers on Saturday but we are still going to try to havet the Fox Hunt in this weekend. We will be meeting Saturday May 11 at 1300 in the front parking lot at the Heritage Farm Park on Devilbiss Bridge Rd. in Walkersville. Everyone is welcome. Hope to see you there

Read MoreQuite frequently I get asked by non-hams about getting licensed. The short answer is; pass a license exam and get a callsign. That’s a bit too simple but it’s the truth. This leads to a much more in depth answer.
There are numerous study guides and websites that can help get you ready for the exam. The ARRL study guide is a good place to begin. Gordon West also has a great study guide and he produces an audio version that’s perfect for the long commute.
A simple check of Google or any other search engine will produce a wealth of sites dedicated to helping you get ready for the big day. Take a look at www.HamExam.org hamstudy.org hb6nu.com or aa9pu.com are all good places to get help. Start taking practice exams until you feel confident with your knowledge.
The final step is to find an exam session. Our club is offilliated with Laurel VEC. Their exams are always free and they get fast results. If you check their website www.laurelvec.com you can find a schedule of upcoming exams. Best of luck.

We are looking for operators throughout both Saturday and Sunday. If you have a preference to time please contact myself of Mike Myers K3DO. We will be coordinating times to make sure that we have coverage on both days. The club will also have a cookout for all members from 1600-1900 on Saturday. We will provide the food just bring a non-alcoholic beverage. Further details are coming soon.
