Ham Radio in the Classroom
Ms. Guerra's fourth and fifth grade class had a wonderful
time using ham radio to talk to fourth grade students at Korematsu Elementary
School at Mace Ranch.
Students took turns asking students at Korematsu Elementary School questions,
and answering questions from the students in Davis. The excitement level in
the classroom was terrific!
Many students in Ms. Guerra's class
expressed interest in ham radio. Several students were eager to find out how they can
get their FCC Amateur Radio License.
There is no age limit to take the ham radio licensing exam, so with study,
they can be licensed as ham radio operators. You can find lots of information
on these web sites:
At these you will find links to all the questions on the tests as well as
web sites that offer practice tests!
The classroom to classroom radio contact was made possible by Yolo County
Amateur Radio Emergency Services membersWes Hardaker, WS6Z, at Korematsu Elementary
School and Mr. K, KG6SJT, at Cambridge Elementary.
