Know someone who's been curious about amateur radio but hasn't taken the leap
yet? ARRL[1] The National Association for Amateur Radio¿ has produced a two-day
online course for prospective hams to earn their first license: The ARRL
Technician Class LIVE Video Course for Ham Radio Licensing[2]. Taught by ARRL
Education Specialist Wayne Greene, KB4DSF, this immersive instruction runs
December 20-21, 2025, includes a Technician Class prep book[3] by ARRL National
Instructor Gordon West, WB6NOA, and one- year of ARRL Membership.
The course breaks down everything needed to know to pass the Technician exam in
bite-sized lessons. "By Sunday afternoon, you'll be amazed by how much you have
learned and how comfortable you feel about taking the exam," said Greene.
"Attaining your amateur radio license will open a whole new world of
communication adventures."
Encourage your friends, family members, club prospects, and community volunteers
to take the step into amateur radio. Share with them the types of experiences
you enjoy as a ham - from exploring communications and technology, public
service, and global connection - to traditional shortwave radio, digital modes,
satellites, and emergency communications.
Enrollment is available now in the ARRL Store[4] for a special introductory
price of $99. If you know someone ready to begin their amateur radio journey,
steer them to this excellent start. For more information about ham radio, visit

The deadline to register for the inaugural ARRL Technician Class Live Video
Course[6] is December 14, 2025.
