Interested in becoming an amateur radio operator?

The Stillwater Amateur Radio Association is offering free entry-level amateur radio instruction at the Stillwater Public Library. Eight weekly sessions will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursdays, beginning Feb. 29.

The Federal Communications Commission regulates amateur radio — also known as ham radio — with exam sessions conducted by volunteer groups working under FCC direction. Exams will be April 25.

Instruction is free for all ages, and knowledge of Morse code is not required. Former ham-radio operators are welcome to attend and can qualify for a new operator’s license.

For more information, go to www.radioham.org or call Bob Jensen at 651-802-2269.
