HamCram
Ham Cram is a guided self-study course followed by a single day class that teaches everything needed to earn or upgrade an FCC radio amateur license. We offer Hamcram sessions designed to enable you to earn your first license (technician class) or upgrade your technician class license to a general class license.
Our HamCram training regimen includes self-study course preparation materials, fine-tuning your learning with a day in our classroom, followed by testing at our in-house test session the same day.
We usually run two HamCram classes each year -- one in the spring and one in the fall.

HamCram Fine Print
We ask that you allocate time before the class to prepare for the class. If you are diligent, we are confident that you will be able to pass the test on class day.
Shortly after you register you should receive an email containing:
- Internet links to the Technician exam questions and answers.
- Instructions on how to approach studying the questions / answers.
While it is possible to successfully complete the course with the class materials provided with your registration fee, we encourage students to purchase one of the following self-study guides to serve as a supplemental reference as you study:
- "Technician Class 2010-2014" by Gordon West
- "The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual, 2nd Edition" by Ward Silver
If you have questions or do not receive the materials, please contact Bill K4WSW at k4wsw@nfarl.org or Chuck AE4CW at ae4cw@nfarl.org.
If you are under the age of 16, we ask that a parent bring you to the HamCram session and sign a permission slip indicating their approval for you to take the course. We would like for parents to stay for the course, however if that is not possible we ask that parents leave a contact phone number at which they can quickly be reached in case of an emergency.
Persons under the age of 18 who participate in HamCram will receive a free membership in the North Fulton Amateur Radio League!
