The “Zombie Apocalypse” workshop is an exciting and interactive event designed to equip participants with the essential skills and knowledge for effective radio communication during emergency situations. Through hands-on exercises and comprehensive study materials, attendees will learn the basics of radio usage, including the ITU phonetic alphabet. They will also have the opportunity to operate VHF, UHF, and HF radios, using a special event callsign obtained from the FCC.
Upon completion of the workshop’s task book, participants will receive a certificate of completion. The workshop includes study materials to prepare them for the FCC license exam. These study materials cover all necessary topics for the Technician, General, and Amateur Extra exams.
The workshop offers participants a package that includes use of the radios, a certificate of completion, and the chance to take any of the FCC exams, starting with the Technician license. Once passed, participants can progress to the General class exam and eventually the Amateur Extra exam. Each exam attempt would normally cost $15, and the workshop package provides unlimited attempts during the two hour exam window or until successful completion, all for a one-time price of $25. Join the “Zombie Apocalypse” workshop and become a skilled and licensed radio communicator ready to face any challenge!
That’s right! You’ll get hands-on experience with VHF, UHF, and HF radios, giving you real-world practice in radio communication. This practical training will enhance your understanding of radio operations and prepare you to be a skilled and confident communicator in any emergency situation.
So, don’t miss out on this exceptional opportunity to learn the basics of radio communication, master the ITU phonetic alphabet, and put your knowledge into action using various radios. Join the “Zombie Apocalypse” workshop today, and be ready to tackle the challenges of radio communication with confidence and expertise!
The opportunity to use multiple radios during the workshop is invaluable. These radios can cost well over $1000 each, and you will have access to them during the course. This hands-on experience with expensive radio equipment would typically come at a significant cost, but it’s all included in the workshop package.
Moreover, let’s consider the cost of taking the FCC exams individually. If you were to take and pass all three exams on your first try, it would cost you $45 in total. However, with our workshop package, you have unlimited attempts to pass each exam within the two-hour exam window, all covered under the $25 fee.
So, not only do you gain proficiency in radio communication, have the opportunity to obtain multiple FCC licenses, and benefit from hands-on radio usage, but you also save thousands of dollars by having access to expensive radios and taking the exams at a fraction of the cost.
Imagine the value of gaining expertise in radio communication, earning multiple FCC licenses, and getting the chance to use various radios throughout the workshop. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to expand your knowledge, enhance your skills, and become a licensed radio communicator, all at an unbeatable price. Join the “Zombie Apocalypse” workshop today and secure your path to radio communication excellence!
