Are you interested in getting your amateur radio operator’s certificate? NCAARC will be offering a class this fall. If you are interested in a course this fall please let us know by emailing training@ncaarc.ca. We are looking to start the course after all the back to school stuff is over and done with. Likely sometime in October, but dates will be confirmed once we have gauged the interest etc.
