[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] VE Testing

[KA4GFY]

Hi Mark,
We usually teach a Tech class in the Fall and Spring, but I only had 2 people who asked about a class.    

Our instructors are willing to work one on one if you need it.  We have always been willing to work with our students if they ask.  

COVID-19 has made teaching a classroom based class nearly impossible.  We were doing our normal planning for an online class, but with the low interest rate, we decided against committing our resources.   

If you look at the news today, COVID-19 is starting to spike again. 

Rich, KA4GFY
Chief Instructor and VE
