Re: Looking for an ARC that would fit for me

 

Good day, Jon -

Thanks for reaching out to our Club.? We are an informal club, i.e. we are virtual, we meet during the monthly meetings of the Queen Creek Emergency Communications Group and we don't collect dues.? Our main objective is to inform the local ham community about local ham events and all things related to ham radio.? Additionally, our secondary objective is to provide the resources necessary for interested parties to use in preparation for FCC amateur radio testing.

It sounds like you are in search of a formal club, I recommend the Superstition Amateur Radio Club (SARC) in Mesa: ?
That club is very popular and very active.??

However, the Chandler Ham Radio Club (CHRC) is a very good club as well.? They have grown into a very well respected Group.? You might also be interest in Chandler Amateur Radio Society (Chandler ARS), an off shoot of CHRC.? They have weekly gatherings known as BE-HIP, hams-in-the-park.? You can join their email distribution group here: /g/chandler-ars.

I hope you find this information useful.? If you would like to be active with our club, please join us at our next QCECG/QCARC meeting in July.? Information on meeting times and locations can be found here: ?

In the meantime, I'll send to you an invitation to our Queen Creek Hams email distribution Group and please join our East Valley Amateur Radio Facebook Group if you are active on FB: ?

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Regards,

Joe, N2QOJ
Co-Founder, Queen Creek Amateur Radio Club
Leader, Queen Creek Emergency Communications Group

Hello, My name is Jon Harding and I have been wanting to join an amateur radio club for a while but most don't fit my schedule. I live in Queen?Creek and I came across your website and?thought this club might work for me, but didn't?see a lot of information on activities. I was wondering if you have a meeting I could attend or some other activity to see if this would be a fit for me. I normally?work Saturdays so it is hard for me to attend any meetings. I was considering?Chandler ARC since they do Zoom meetings but haven't?had a chance to attend anything yet. I would appreciate?any information you can provide.

Thank you,

Re: Amateur Extra Question Pool with Correct Answer Only

 

Thank you!!

Good day,

For those of you looking to upgrade to AE, I've created a study document that contains the new question pool and CORRECT answers only.? This document is valid from 7/1/2024 through 6/30/2028.

For folks who use the memory method, it is not necessary to memorize incorrect answers.

You can find it here:

Here is another version from AD7FO that also adds some tips and explanations:
