Ham radio classes offered

The Colusa County Sheriff's Department is hosting an amateur ham radio training classes each Saturday from Sept. 11 to Oct. 30.

The classes run from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Sheriff's Office, 929 Bridge St. A manual is recommended, but not required. The cost is $24.95 and can be purchased at www.ARRL.org.

The classes will prepare participants for the exam to get an entry level ham radio license, and the Sheriff's Department is hoping some of the participants would then be interested in joining its emergency communications unit.

Bill Duncan, a highly experienced operator, will instruct the class. For information, call 763-7175 or e-mail him at wa6ohp@yahoo.com.
