In March and April 2023, WARS, MACS, and McARCS held a series of classes for obtaining a technician level amateur radio license. Recordings of these classes have been uploaded to YouTube and made available to everyone. The material in these classes is valid until June 30th, 2026. A new question pool will take effect after then.
