These HAMtastic Radio Technology Camps will explore the science behind mobile (cell) phones, broadcast radio and television, safety and emergency services, radar, navigation, and remote sensing satellites, each of which utilizes radio waves. In HAMtastic we will have the opportunity to talk on short-wave radios with other radio operators from all over the world. Campers will have the opportunity to sit for the HAM Radio Technician class license exam.
HAMtastic Radio Technology camps are offered on Walters State Community College Morristown, Claiborne, Newport Center, Sevierville and Niswonger Campuses.
