Ham radio-related courses taught at the University of California Berkeley Campus and a follow-on “Annual VE Mega-Session” may be one reason that California continues to lead the nation in the number of Amateur Radio licensees. A March 16 exam session yielded 50 new Technician licensees, as well as three new General class, and five new Amateur Extra class licensees. For the third year in a row, scores of mostly electrical engineering and computer science students capped their participation in one of two ham radio-related classes taught by UC Berkeley EE/CS Professor Michael “Miki” Lustig, KK6MRI. His lower-division “Hands-On Ham” course is for sophomores, while and his upper-division “Digital Signal Processing” course is aimed at juniors and seniors.
业余无线电相关课程在美国加州大学伯克利分校进行，接着将进行“年度VE Mega-Session”考试，这可能是加州的业余无线电许可证的持证数量继续引领全美的原因。
3月16日的考试产生了50个新技术员级无线电许可证，以及三个新的普通级和五个新的特别级业余无线电许可。
连续第三年，许多电气工程和计算机科学专业的学生报名参加了两个业余无线电的相关课程，该课程由加州大学伯克利分校EE / CS学院 迈克尔·“杨爱瑾”拉斯帝格KK6MRI 教授讲授。他的低级别课程“火腿实操”课程是面向大学二年级学生，他的更高级别课程“数字信号处理”课程是针对大学三年级和四年级学生。
“These popular courses are filled quickly on registration day,” Lustig said. “Class members also include some majoring in mechanical, biological, and nuclear engineering.”
“这些受欢迎的课程在注册当天就爆满了,”鲁斯说。“报名这些课程的学生还包括一些机械、生物、和核能工程专业的学生。”
The entry-level course exposes newcomers to ham radio and introduces them to “hacking” and “making,” Lustig explained, while the advanced class “delves into the theoretical applications of digital signal processing, filter design, modulation/demodulation, decoding subcarriers, APRS audio interface techniques, and antenna design.” Both classes feature hands-on, practical projects that require them to transmit on radio frequencies, so students are motivated, as part of their courses, to become licensed Amateur Radio operators.”
入门级课程向新手展示业余无线电，并向他们介绍“黑客”和“黑客的原理”，拉斯帝格解释说，当然业余无线电的高级阶段还要深入探究了数字信号处理的理论应用、滤波器设计、调制/解调、解码副载波、APRS音频接口技术和天线设计。这两类级别的考试都要考察动手实操项目，要求他们用无线电频率传输信号，所以学生的动机感强，这也是他们能成为有执照的业余无线电爱好者，作为他们课程的一部分。
The lower-division students are given inexpensive hand-held transceivers to keep, and are coached in radio protocols. The upper division students are issued higher-end hand-helds that they may keep if they pass the General or Amateur Extra class examination.
低年级的学生分配有便宜的手持收发器并根据无线电协议进行训练。更高级别的学生则分配了高端手持设备，如果他们通过了普通级或特别级考试，他们可以保留这款设备自己使用。
“They make satellite contacts, participate in on-campus Field Day-like activities, practice with small software-designed radio dongles, and, if already licensed, stay in touch with each other throughout the semester on a 2 meter simplex frequency,” Lustig told ARRL.
“就像参与校园的野外实习日活动一样，他们用卫星通联，用小软件设计的无线电软件狗练习，而且，如果参训者已经获得注册执照，在整个学期用2米单工频率彼此保持通联”，拉斯帝格告诉ARRL。
Lustig is quick to point out that the two courses would not be possible without the active support of the UC Berkeley W6BB club members, including Trustee Fritz Sommer K6EE/DL4TT, President, Jack Burris K6JEB, and others, as well as support from the EECS Department staff.
拉斯帝格指出，这两个课程的开设离不开加州大学伯克利分校W6BB俱乐部成员的积极支持，包括受托人：弗里茨·萨默K6EE / DL4TT，主席：杰克伯K6JEB和其他人，以及EECS部门员工的支持。
Sharon Primbsch, AA6XZ, is the master planner, organizer, coordinator, and captain of the annual VE Mega-Session, which requires recruiting at least 20 ARRL VEC-affiliated volunteer examiners to conduct the session. These come from the Marin Amateur Radio Society, the San Francisco Radio Club, the East Bay Amateur Radio Club, and others.
Sharon Primbsch AA6XZ是年度VE Mega-Session的主策划人、组织者、协调员和组长，这需要招聘至少20名 ARRL VEC-相关的志愿审查员进行此次项目。这些人员来自马林业余无线电协会、旧金山无线电俱乐部、东湾业余无线电爱好者俱乐部等等。
The lower-division students are primarily candidates for the Technician license and are in and out of the room within a half-hour or so. “Virtually all of them pass,” Primbsch said. “Most upper-division students at least take both the Technician and General exams, and a few opt to go all the way to Amateur Extra.”
参加技术员级考试的主要是来自更低级别的学员，他们答题时间在半个小时。Primbsch说，“他们全数通过考试，大部分更高级别的学生至少参加了技术员级和普通级的考试，少部分操作者参加了业余无线电特别级的考试。”
In the latest VE session, 63 candidates took a total of 78 exam elements in a little more than 2 hours. Only one candidate left without a license.
在最后的VE阶段，63名参训者将参加用时2小时多一点时间的78项考试项目，仅一名参训者未获得执照。
（小编不禁感叹，通过率蛮高的嘛！也为那一个未通过滴孩纸忧桑！）
