Youth
ARRL Kids Day is an on-air event to encourage young people, licensed or not, to have fun with Amateur Radio. It is designed to give on-the-air experience to youngsters, hopefully fostering their interest in getting a license of their own. Older hams also get a chance to share their station and love for Amateur Radio with children. More ... and More ...
The Georgia Section Youth page will keep you up-to-date on Georgia Section youth activities. You can find it here.
is a good youth-oriented site.

License Upgrade Help
NFARL members stand ready to help you meet your upgrade goals. We can meet with you to outline a plan of study, answer your questions, and get you ready for the test.
In the meantime, here are several on-line resources our members have found helpful:
When you are ready, you can take the test at our club's testing session which occurs once per quarter. Or you can go to one of the testing sessions listed here.
Contact us and arrange for one of our Elmers/Mentors to get you on the way to a higher class ticket. In the meantime, check out one of our featured articles - Ten Ways to have the Most Fun in Ham Radio.
For helpful info, check out this site. You'll also get lots of ideas from our Yahoo Group (there's a link in the menu bar to the left).
Antenna Installation
NFARL has many members who are willing to help you design, build and even install your antenna. We often have Antenna Build-a-thons as part of our Mid-Month Madness activities. MORE. Again, contact us via the CONTACT page if you need help with your antenna challenges.
Equipment Loan Around
The club has a variety of equipment we can loan to you to get you on the air. This equipment belongs to members who have put it in a pool that can be borrowed for a week or a month or ??? But you have to ask! Soon there will be a spreadsheet of available equipment listed on this web site, so stay tuned.
Station Planning and Setup
Many hams do not know the steps involved in setting up a station, whether it's VHF or HF. Our members will help you with these decisions. What to buy, where to get it, what's a good price, etc. Let us know how we can help.
If you join our yahoo reflector/group (see button at left), you will often see equipment listed for sale. Always a good idea to buy from other club members.
Ham Classes
We periodically hold HamCram classes. For the latest click here.
In the meantime, watch our Mid-Month Madness (see under ACTIVITY button) for programs where members of our club present technical and operational information. Also, the ARRL has online courses if you want to go that route. MORE
