MembershipMembership in the River City ARCS is open to any licensed amateur radio operator or anyone interested in amateur radio, shortwave listening, electronics or similar interests.
Amateur Radio LicensingAmateur Radio Licenses are granted by the Federal Communications Commission after passing an exam at a Volunteer Exam (VE) session. Volunteer Exam sessions are currently held at 7:00 am on the third Saturday of each month at the Carmichael Elks Lodge, 5631 Cypress Avenue, Carmichael, CA 95608. The administration fee is $15. There will be a HAM-CRAM and Exam Session on January 21, 2012, in Orangevale. The HAM-CRAM will start at 8:00AM and the Exam Session for all classes will start at 1:00PM. Our team is planning on having exam sessions every other month during the new year. So if you are interested in participating we prefer you to pre-registration so we can get most of the paper work completed before the session date. Send an email to Joe at: Cardozas@comcast.net so we can supply you with a list of information needed for registration. Thanks to Joe, KA6ROM.
