[GCARC] SMT Soldering Class - 8 July 2024

[Sheree]

Chris I’m interested in joining this class.
Btw after the test and we get our call signs it would be great if we could plan a radio exercise calling each other with out radios and test our theory!
I still don’t have a radio so appreciate if you can recommend one that can do various bands Through general class so I can stay with my radio for awhile. 100-500$ range ?
Thanks so much
