  10. BARK uses Gordon West/ W5YI Group Teaching Method rather than the ARRL • W5YI Group- requires 18 hours of instruction. This method “teaches the test” and provides a limited amount of in depth knowledge. The theory is that you will learn more once you get on the air. • ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League)- requires 60 hours of instruction. Lots of in depth class work.

  12. How to study to ensure passing exam • Come to class. Participate. Ask questions! • Study outside of class • The exam will be taken from questions in the pool • Questions are discussed in class • Take practice exams online • How class will be run • PowerPoint presentations • Background material is discussed in class • Questions from the pool at end of each section • Questions from class • “There is no such thing as a stupid question.” • If you don’t understand, you’re probably not alone • Material is second nature to the instructors; they may not realize that they’re not speaking English and most of the Instructors are not professional Educators • Additional help is available from “Elmers” if needed
