If you didn't get a handout at the License class, we will have them at the
meeting tonight.  If you can't attend the meeting, let me know and I'll
e-mail a copy to you.  The handout describes basic "what to do next"
information, including very basic information on how to obtain a radio and
basic communication skills.

We are meeting this Thursday night (tonight) at Building 549, Hamilton Field
at 7:00pm to practice our ongoing communications training.   We are meeting
Thursday evenings at Hamilton.  Of course no meeting next Thursday,  Happy
Thanksgiving!

Training has been going extremely well, and we can continue to practice
on-air, especially tonight.  We now have ICS manuals for everyone, and new
Instant Trainer manuals.

Building 549 is located in the Coast Guard Housing section at Hamilton.  A
map can be found at our clubhouse site http://www.k6bw.org.  Here are
summary instructions:

Hamilton Field is located north of San Rafael in Novato.  Take the Hamilton
Field/Nave Drive Exit from Highway 101.  If you are traveling from the
south, continue on Nave Drive through one stoplight until you reach the
Hamilton Field Main Gate.  Turn right into Hamilton onto Main Gate Drive.
If you are traveling from the north, take the Hamilton Field exit and turn
right and take the overpass over Highway 101.  Take the first right and
continue down the frontage road (Nave Drive) through two stoplights until
you reach the Hamilton Field Main Gate.  Turn left into Hamilton onto Main
Gate Drive.

Continue on Main Gate Drive through one stoplight until you pass over a
white bridge.  On the other side of the bridge, take the next right to
Crescent Dr.  Drive a short block over another smaller bridge, then turn
right again to enter the Coast Guard Housing Area.  Continue on Crescent
until you spot a large palm tree and a wye in the road.  Turn left, and
continue up a small incline to San Jose Dr.  Turn left again onto San Jose
Dr.  On the right you will see a small driveway with a white sign marked
Building 549.  Take the driveway to the top of the hill and to the
clubhouse.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call.  The clubhouse
phone is 415-382-8135, and my phone is 415-456-4481.
