June 29, 2013 (Lakeside) – An Amateur Radio class is being held on July 27 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Lakeside Fire Protection District Office, 12216 Lakeside Avenue, Lakeside.  Testing for the Amateur Radio License will be held immediately after class at 5 p.m.

Obtaining an amateur radio license enables people to communicate during a local disaster such as a fire or earthquake when traditional land lines and cell phones may stop working.  License holders can help their local community during times of need as well as get up to date information about the disaster from local authorities.  It’s also a great way to communicate with people around the world.

Prior to class participants will need to get the ARRL “Ham Radio License Manual”, available at Ham Radio Outlet or the library and an FRN Number through the FRN Help line at 877-480-3201 or go to www.LakesideARC.org and click on “Get FRN Number”.  The test administration fee is $5 and must be paid by cash or check at the time of test.

Contact Mike Maston at 619-972-1148 or mastroleo1@gmail.com to reserve you seat in class.
