So you're a beginner interested in Amateur Radio... or maybe you're a long-time operator who wants to meet fellow furries in the field... or perhaps you fall somewhere in the middle? Ask yourself, do you want to get a chance to ask those burning technical questions to a panel of long-time radio operators and examiners? Want to get hands-on and a chance to handle various types of Amateur Radio gear and technology? No matter where you are on the experience spectrum, if you answered yes to the above questions, then you should come out to our Ham Furs Amateur Radio Q&A Session at Anthrocon! Based on the great audience questions we had at last year's meet-and-greet panel, we've slightly restructured our panel this year to offer an official Q&A session in addition to show-and-tell. Our team of Volunteer Examiners will be on hand before the FCC Amateur Radio Exam to answer your questions about anything from basics of Radio Frequency operations, to specific how-to for today's technology. Our panel has a combined 40+ years of RF, Engineering, and IT/Cybersecurity experience to draw on, and is happy to talk about our nerdiest hobby. If you have specific or very technical questions you'd like to have answered during the panel, please feel free to send them to sdwolf@sdwolf.com so our panelists can prepare an answer.
Are you a furry interested in getting on the air in amateur radio? Want to get licensed so you can transmit on the amateur bands? Then come out to our FCC Amateur Radio Exam at Anthrocon. Our furry team of FCC-authorized proctors can provide all elements of the FCC amateur radio exam, up to the Amateur Extra level. Regardless of which level(s) of exam you take, there is a required exam fee of $15.00 (we can accept cash or Venmo) to cover our Exam Coordinator's (ARRL) fees. Re-tests are time-limited and require an additional $15.00 fee. For maximum success, we recommend all candidates study the FCC question pool using the ARRL's exam practice tool or similar, prior to taking the desired test(s): https://www.arrl.org/exam-practice If possible, please RSVP for this event by emailing sdwolf@sdwolf.com, to ensure we have enough materials for all candidates.
