[NCARC] Please help share your interest in ham radio!

[Steve Henry]

Calling all hams who really enjoy the hobby and are willing to share 40
minutes of it with a class in Loveland.

I still need guest lecturers/demonstrators for a technician class we are
starting this week in Loveland.  There are 4 teaching segments left--each
only 40 minutes (see below).  Now's your chance to share your hobby with
others who are interested.  There are just 4 modules left.  I have an
instructors guide and pages from "Now You're talking" that make this really
easy-- much of it is hands-on demonstration.  Please let me know if you are
willing to commit to cover one of these.   You've got a whole month or more
to prepare--- so sign up now!   Existing instructors also welcome to pick
any of these!
