This will speed up the paper work at the beginning of the session. This is going to be a large group, so please have the form filled out and completed payment with you when you sign in. If you can’t make it please let us know; the class usually fills and we have to turn people away, spots that we can re-use if we know.

The Fee is $35.00 for this session, pay at the session, cash or check. This covers the cost of the study materials and the FCC exam and license fee. Make checks payable to: Ross Peterson.

We MUST check 2 forms of ID, one must be a picture ID.

This is a cram style session, we have found that it works best if you do NOT study any of the material prior to the session, rest well and have a light breakfast and come prepared to study.

Lunch is available at shopping areas a short distance away or bring a sack lunch. We will have coffee, tea hot water and hot chocolate available.
