County amateur radio club offers classes to beginners
Weekly teaching can qualify students for novice license
By JENNIFER ROWLAND Staff writer
Students who want to communicate with someone as far away as Japan or as close as a few blocks away now can learn to use ham radios in weekly classes sponsored by the Douglas County Amateur Radio Club.
The club will offer the classes from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. every Thursday, beginning today, in the basement of Fire Station No. 1, 745 Vermont St.
Club secretary Klissa Rueschoff, who is also a secretary in the mechanical engineering department, said students must be able to decipher Morse Code at the rate of five per hour nationally approved test on ham radio rules to receive a novice license at the end of the nine-week course.
Students will learn eight letters at a time until they master the code. later lessons be spent practicing and learning radio regulations, Rueschhoff said.
Novice is the lowest of five FCC license levels, and the holder is limited in the number of bands, or frequencies, available.
The classes are free, but participants must buy a $10 manual and tape American Radio Relay League, a American Radio Relay Rueschhoff said. The radio league
also distributes the national license test.
The Federal Communications Commission opened the airwaves to voice privileges for novices last spring. Voice privileges had been available only to those with upper-

level licenses. In the past, novices had only been allowed by the FCC to use Morse Code, which transmits seeping signals in dots and dashes, Rueschhoff said.
"That has generated a lot more interest in the novice license, because now they can have voice privilege and can talk to people all over the world, depending on band conditions," she said.
"If you're in an emergency situation, you want to be able to send a message as quickly and as accurately as possible," Rueschhoff said.
Ham radio operators sometimes use jargon to send messages. For example, "CQ," which means "seek you," tells the listener that the sender is willing to talk, Rueschhoff said.
In addition to jargon, the course will teach technical radio information such as antenna, voltage and equipment usage.
Ham radios can be used to communicate to all parts of the world, she said.
"In the last two months, for example, I've talked to people in Central America and a station in Christchurch, New Zealand," she said.
The club has helped local weather services during severe weather watches by relaying updated weather information. Rueschhoff said.
Ken Olson, the club's newsletter publisher and shop supervisor for KU's division of biological sciences, said he joined the club in 1956.
Radio operators also have been used as check points for safety procedures.
Olson said he had participated in a ham radio program at Forbes Field in Topeka that relayed messages from military personnel overseas to their relatives in the United States during the Vietnam War.
