The course is open for anyone, not just members of ARK. If you are interested in learning about ham radio, this course is a great place to begin. The curriculum itself is based on the book, “Veien til Internasjonal Amatørradiolisens”, which can be bought from NRRL’s website, right here. If you are also interested in joining our club, please see our membership page. Our admission periods are twice a year, every spring and fall. Looking forward to hearing from you!
And most importantly, good luck with your radio license!
