The Tri-Lakes Monument Radio Association in Monument, Colorado, is offering another ham radio license class. This time, we are doing it for Amateur Extra, which involves a lot more material and higher technical content. We are using a hybrid approach that blends live training sessions with online learning using the Ham Radio School online course.

We have used this approach with our Technician and General classes, but this will be the first time we’ve applied it to the Extra license class. The basic strategy is to provide the students with access to the online videos and ebook from Ham Radio School, supplemented with an in-person kick-off session and weekly review sessions via Zoom. This provides a high degree of flexibility for the students because they can view the excellent instruction videos on their own schedule. But they still have personal interaction with the instructor team to fill in any gaps. One of the key elements of our approach is to assign an experienced Elmer (mentor) to each student, to check in with them, provide encouragement, and answer any questions that come up.

The in-person kick-off session is in Monument on Oct 4th, and the class ends with the exam session on Nov 15th.

The Extra License is the top FCC amateur radio license, providing full access to all Amateur Radio Service band allocations.
• Upgrade from General to Extra Class radio privileges
• Pass your FCC Extra Class amateur license exam
• Expand your HF ops on 15-, 20-, 40-, & 80-meter bands
• Gain a deeper understanding of radio electronics and theory
• Take the next step with antennas, amplifiers, digital modes

Course Overview:

• A ~30-hour, paced course of study preparing you to pass the Extra exam.
• Online lessons on demand, with personal Elmer support from WØTLM.
• Video lessons, ebook, depth media, quizzes & practice exams, all provided.
• In-person initial session (Oct 4) & license exam session (Nov 15)
• Weekly live class reviews via remote meeting (Zoom).

Registration fee: $65 (Proceeds support the Tri-Lakes Monument Radio Association)
Students will receive a subscription to the online course: Ham Radio School Extra License Course
A current FCC General License is required for registration.

The Extra Class exam is much more difficult than the Technician and General exams. It is important to start with a good understanding of the Tech & General material as a foundation for the Extra material. You may want to spend some time reviewing the Tech and General topics before attending the Extra license class.
