License Upgrade

So you're ready to upgrade to a higher license. Me too! There is one small problem. While there are many, many sites to help you study for the Technician exam, there are few to help for upgrading to General or Extra. I have found some and they are listed below. Don't forget some local clubs may offer assistance, too.

www.hamclass.org - Brian [KCØBS] & Matt [KC4WCG] have put together a nice sudy guide for the General upgrade

When you're ready to take the actual test, you can either go through the club that's been helping you, or there are three places that regularly conduct testing only:
The Independence FM Amatuer Radio Club sponsors testing on the second Saturday on each month.

The Raytown Amateur Radio Club conducts testing the third Tuesday of every month.

The Johnson County Radio Amateurs Club conducts testing on the third Saturday of every month. You can find more information here.

MO-KAN, in conjunction with Jayhawk Amateur Radio Society hosts amateur radio test sessions the last Saturday of odd numbered months (January, March, May, etc.). You can find more information on their site under Club/Local News, then select Test Sessions.

Most Hamfests offer testing for all license classes.
