Icom America sponsors new HamStudy.org website to support Amateur
Radio education

Press release

Icom America, leading manufacturer of amateur (ham) radio equipment
and technology, announces a sponsorship for HamStudy.org, a new
website that offers free learning tools for existing and potential
amateur radio operators.

The website is accessible at www.hamstudy.org and was created by
Richard Bateman (KD7BBC), Michael Stufflebeam (KV9G) and Rich Porter.

HamStudy.org users studying for an amateur radio license exam can
choose from three online learning modules for each ham radio class:
technician, general or extra. FCC Commercial Element 1, 3, 5 and 6
study modules are also available. Educational materials include flash
cards, question lists and practice tests.

Users who register for a free HamStudy.org account on the site can
access personalized study history and submit explanations to amateur
radio questions. Website registrants may also choose to log into their
account using their Google or Facebook credentials. HamStudy.org is
optimized for mobile phones and tablets; additional features will be
integrated to the website soon. Facebook users can receive regular
site updates and study tips by "liking" HamStudy.org at
www.Facebook.com/HamStudy.

Icom is committed to the amateur radio hobby and supports many
organizations that provide educational material for operators of any
skill or experience level. In addition to HamStudy.org, Icom has also
partnered with the Ham Nation weekly netcast from TwiT.tv and the
AmateurLogic.tv Internet television program. Icom has also been a
proud sponsor of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) since 1981. The
company is the official amateur radio transceiver supplier for the
BSA’s 2013 National Scout Jamboree.
