With your Advanced Certificate, you can run higher power, operate a remotely-controlled station, obtain operating privileges when travelling overseas, set up repeaters, be the trustee for club stations and even become an Accredited Examiner (AE) if you also have the Morse Code qualification
Course information:
The course will be 10 sessions in length and each session will be two hours long.
In order to offer maximum flexibility, we will be running two Advanced courses so students will be able to choose one of the following two options:
  • Sunday afternoons at 1 pm Eastern Time (10 am PT / 2:30 pm NT) starting on Sunday, January 14 and ending on Sunday, March 24.
Or
  • Monday evenings from 8:30 pm Eastern Time (5:30 pm PT / 10 pm NT) starting on Monday, January 15 and ending on Monday, March 25.
Note: There will be no classes on Sunday, February 25 and Monday, February 26 due to a family occasion.
