[HIham] "Free" Emergency Communications course (EC001): register at 6:01pm Sunday July 3

[Kevin C. Bogan]

Folks,
I encourage all amateur radio operators to take at least the basic 
emergency communications course offered by the ARRL.  It is on-line and 
you have a mentor (via e-mail).  The United Technologies Corporation 
(UTC) grant will reimburse you once you have passed.  This is a 
different grant from before and is very limited.  Most people who 
hesitate in registering will not get in.  If you plan on taking the 
course, please register on-line at the ARRL web site 
(http://www.arrl.org). Do your research and form filling ahead of time 
and click the final registration button at precisely 6:01PM on Sunday, 
July 3, 2005. Please read below and Good Luck!
Kevin, AH6QO
