Are there any inexpensive license class lessons? I've some folk interested in licensing classes in our Maker Space here (http://blog.buffalolab.org/), and I'm willing to do the instruction, but I'm shite at making lesson plans.

I suppose if needed, I can break the exams down by section, and build lesson plans from there?

Here's a link to the materials I use in my class - feel free to steal them as I have stolen from so many others!

The Powerpoints are in the main folder. There are some good study guides in the HamInstructor directory (which is where I stole them) as well as a Morse Code teaching program. I also have most of the videos I use. I do this now as a three day class - three Saturdays in a row. That seems to work well for the students. The course is based on the ARRL License Manual.

Thanks a lot! This is certainly helpful, as we have lots of people willing and eager to take a class, some people eager to teach, but nobody who is any good at lesson plans lol

This may be the onus for me to upgrade to extra, so I can administer all of the parts.

Just do it :mrgreen:

The only annoying parts of the Extra - at least circa 2009 - were the questions that were so obsolete that regurgitation was the only viable strategy. How many scanning lines are present in a CRT isn't exactly helping the state of the amateur art...

The math questions weren't bad once I had someone explain to me in trig terms what the hell was going on with impedance.
