  • Do you want to be an amateur radio operator?

One of our trainers and designated examiners will be available to answer any questions you may have. All are welcome! Hope to see you there!

I want in. What's next?

​Who do I contact?
Ross (kb6gcs@yahoo.com)
 to book a seat in the training class.
Yvon (yvon.hachey@gmail.com) to book a seat or an exam session.

​What do I need?
Students should have in their possession the Seventh Edition of the RAC Study Guide for the Basic Exam, which can be  purchased online at: http://www.rac.ca. The cost of purchase is $50.00 plus Tax & shipping. There are also special packages which are optional and which include the RAC Operating Manual and a six-month trial membership in RAC.

The student manual we use in our class is from Coax publication at https://www.coaxpublications.ca. If a student has already purchased the Sixth Edition of the RAC Study Guide instead, it is OK. 
​
If a student has a computer with access to the internet, it is strongly recommended that they download practice exams from the Industry Canada web site: http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/025.nsf/eng/h_00040.html

​Many experienced Hams in local clubs are ready and willing to act as  mentors to new Hams.
