For many years, the TMRA has sponsored entry level amateur radio classes free of charge to interested persons living in the community. Volunteer instructors from within the membership conduct the classes. Class size has ranged from as low as 5-7 to more than 30 students.
Typically, there is a two-day class offered in the Spring and another two-day class in the Fall.
Spring Technician Two-Day Class is scheduled.
Day 1: Saturday, 4/18/2026 – 8A-5P
Day 2: Saturday, 5/2/2026 – 8A-3P
The Technician License Test begins after the second class ends. The exam is open for all license levels.
If you are interested in attending the class and working through the material necessary to take your Technician Licensing exam, please consider joining us for our next licensing class.

There is no charge for the class itself, but you should have a textbook (The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual 5th Edition) that you can obtain beforehand from the ARRL or from us for a nominal fee (about $30.00.) Check on the cost when you contact us.
When it is time to take the test at the end of the class, there is a charge of $15.00 to cover expenses for the test. Please have exact cash. Also, bring with you a valid picture ID and copies of any other previous licensing or CSCE’s you may have.
Thanks to cooperation with the Maumee Police Department, the classes are being held at the Public Safety Training Center, 700 Mingo Drive, Maumee, Ohio 43537.
The following is a picture of the entrance to the Training Center off Mingo Drive.
