HAMCRAM ANNOUNCEMENT

The New Jersey Emergency Communications Team (http://NJECT.us) will be hosting a “HAMCRAM” at 8AM to be held at Hightstown Firehouse on Saturday February 27th 2021.

What is a “HAMCRAM?”

It’s a class where you will be instructed on the particulars to pass the Technician Class Amateur Radio License test.  We will go over the entire question and answer pool (Element 2).  From that question pool, you will be given 35 questions on the test.  Morse code is no longer required or part of the test.

The test will be given immediately after the course.  Cost: $15 for processing and $5 for the venue and door prize.  Everyone will receive one free ticket.

If you are involved with radio communications at any level, we strongly recommend this class, as it will help you understand many facets of radio and open a whole new world of radio communications.  This entry level license will allow you to work portions of many bands available to amateur radio operators.

The real learning begins AFTER you obtain your license and get on the air!

Email me that you will attend with your Full Name, email and Phone number to info@nject.us as seating will be limited to 30 people, first come first served!

If you would like to skip the class and come and take the test only, you may, by arriving no later than 1400 hours (2:00 pm).  We will allow additional people to attend who wish to take the test only after the class and will allow class upgrades too.  So the General and Extra tests can be taken after the HAMCRAM has completed.  But please register, as space is limited.
