The internet archive (www.archive.org) has posted copies of every 73 Magazine previously published. Although many hams in the local community might be to new to the hobby to remember the magazine, it was a great asset to the ham radio community and included a lot of good technical articles. It was published from 1960 through 2003.

Two simultaneous courses will begin in September.

A Technician Class Course orientation will take place Wednesday evening September 14th at the Carthage Medical Center, 117 Mechanic St., Carthage, NY, (across from Stefano’s on State St.) at 6 pm. Enter through the center door facing State St. and follow the signs. The class will meet each Wednesday from 6-9:30PM for 8 weeks following orientation night. Students will be asked to complete a placement test and will have the opportunity to sit for the Technician Exam that night if they so choose. (A license earned at this session will most likely be validated in time for the Black River Stages event in Harrisville, NY on September 23rd and 24th.)

A General Class Course will also be offered Thursday evenings from 6-9:30PM at the JCRAC Cornerstone Facility, 19273 Lloyd Rd., Watertown, NY, for 9 weeks after the course orientation September 15th. If you are interested in sitting for the General Class Exam, please see the club’s schedule posted on the right side of this page.

Books and other materials will be outlined in your return email after signing up online or at the course orientations Sept 14th and 15th. Walk-ins are welcome. To sign up for a class, click on the tab at the top of the page or signup in person at orientation.
