SCHEART September 2024 Testing and Training

SCHEART will be offering Ham (Amateur) Radio classes in September of 2024. This is for Technician, General and Extra. All classes will be running from September 23rd through 27th from 6pm to 9pm. Some classes will not take the whole week but will finish when all the material is covered. These classes run concurrently. You can only choose one of the classes.

They’re presenting the classes by video conference using Zoom (http://zoom.us ) If you didn’t have the time to attend in person before, now is your chance. Email them at [email protected]. Make sure you include which class you want. They will forward your email address to your instructors. They will send you an invitation to the video conference.

New hams must start out with the Technician course.

All classes are free. If you wish to attend, RSVP to [email protected]. They’ll need a real name, not a handle. Be sure to tell them which class you want to take and include your cell number.

Testing will be offered on September 28th at 08:30 am at SCETV headquarters, 1041 George Rogers Blvd in Columbia.  They’ll take care of the administrative work first and start the testing at when the admin work is done. Bring a photo ID, an original and copy of any Ham Radio license, your FRN and $10.00 cash. If a child is testing and has no photo I.D., bring a copy of a birth certificate. Also, once the FCC processes your application, they will want an additional $35.00. 

If you are testing for the first time, you must bring your FCC Registration Number (FRN), which you can get here:https://tinyurl.com/yayymn28

If you’re coming for testing only, email them so they can plan accordingly.

Please refer any questions to [email protected].
