OMARC offering General Upgrade for Techs — Good deal; read on!!

AMATEUR RADIO GENERAL CLASS
LICENSE UPGRADE TRAINING
FREE training – pay only for materials and the test fee
INSTRUCTION AND EXAMINATIONS CONDUCTED BY THE
OVERLOOK MOUNTAIN AMATEUR RADIO CLUB
www.omarclub.org
Seven21 Media Center, 721 Broadway, Kingston, NY
Attend six classes (Oct 6, Oct 13, Oct 20, Oct 27, Nov 3, Nov 10) from 7 PM to 9:30 PM
Take the exam on a day and time we will choose in class
If you have a Technician Class license and you’re ready to get onto the worldwide HF
bands, it’s time to upgrade to General Class!
This class gives you everything you need to pass the written examination for a General
Class amateur radio license. On the last day, you’ll take the exam – if you pass, you’ll
leave with your new privileges!
The General Class exam is similar to the Technician Class exam you already passed – 35
multiple-choice questions taken from a published pool of questions – but the information
you need to know is much more technically complex. Even if you got your Tech license
on your own, you should let us help you prepare this time.
There is no charge for this course – just pay $25 for the study book and class materials,
and the $15 examination fee.
Pre-registration is required. The registration deadline is September 29. To register or
to get more information, contact Keith Tilley, (845) 687-9951, K2UNI@arrl.net.
There is a pre-class study assignment - register early so you have plenty of time to
prepare!

Urgent: Greene County needs at least 20 Hams for Emergency Ops Now!

Hi Folks,
Greene County is still dealing with a big problem and we need more
people to respond. Please consider giving some time to helping Len and
Greene Co. out. I’m sure they would come to your county. This is a call
to all hands.

They need:

– 20 to 25 operators are needed
– NIMS/ICS training is preferred but not required
– Operators will need dual band (2 meter and 70 centimeter)
transceivers
– Expect up to three days deployment
– The county has insurance that will cover volunteers coming
from out of the area
– Experience handling health and welfare traffic is a plus
– Talk in frequency is 147.150 + (no PL) and 449.025 – (PL
114.8)
– Point of contact for volunteers is Len Signoretti, N2LEN,
518-653-1287

Anyone wishing to volunteer should contact Len to be put on a schedule
and receive additional instructions.

Thanks,
Pete N2YJZ
