The Schaumburg Amateur Radio Club offers a free upgrade class for those already holding a technician-level license looking to upgrade to a general-level license beginning January 10, 2026. This class is intended for those already holding their technician-level license and who are looking to upgrade their privileges and bands that they can operate on to general class. This upgrade opens up a significant portion of the HF bands, including SSB (voice modes) for the operator.
This course is offered at no charge. The class is held from 09:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Saturdays from January 10 through March 14.
The class uses the American Radio Relay League General Class License Manual Fifth Edition (ISBN: 978-1625951717) as a study guide and students are encouraged to get their own copy.
