General License Class Objective and Format

Course Objectives Our General License Course is designed to help the Technician Class amateur operator move up to General Class, and gain a significant number of HF privileges. In fact, the General Class License holder has significant privileges on every ham band. This course is specifically designed to give you the skills needed to pass the FCC Element 3 exam. We assume the student has either already passed, or is prepared to pass the FCC's Element 2 exam. Like the Technician Class License there is no Morse Code requirement, though the General Class ham my find it useful.

Hybrid Classes Like our Technician classes you will be able to attend either in person in our club house in Davidsonville, MD. or over the Internet via Zoom.  Email training@w3vpr.org for details.
