Lafayette Science Museum (LSM) with the support of Acadiana Amateur Radio Association (AARA) will be offering a six-week ham radio course every Tuesday at 5:30 pm starting January 22, 2019, at LSM.

After the successful completion of the test the student will be awarded an FCC Technicians Class license for ham radio operation. This course is open to anyone and lasts six weeks.

However, class size will be limited so sign up early. Course material will be $20 and there is an FCC fee of $15 at the time of testing.

LSM is offering this course as a way to promote ham radio to the youth of South Louisiana. This course is recommended for kids and adults 10 years and older. Lafayette Science Museum is located at 433 Jefferson Street, Lafayette, LA.
