Ham Study Session Directions for Saturday, May 17, 2008

Please print the attached PDF file and fill out the top half of the Study Session registration form. If for some reason you don’t have the sign-in form, they will be available at the class. 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, have your ID available 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 $30.00 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: Jack Mackinnon.

Bring the sign-in form and check or cash with you. Please don’t mail or fax them in.

We MUST check your picture ID and you MUST have your Social Security Number, TIN or FCC FRN available for the license application, we can't process the application without both.

For those of you who don't have a sponsor, leave that part blank, we will help you locate a sponsor at the session.

The building will be open at 8:00 AM and we will start sign-in then. The session introduction will start promptly at 8:30. Please don’t be late, if you miss the orientation it will be extremely difficult to catch up.
