Tom,
  Yes, you are signed up for the training class at 10am.
For anyone else interested, the class is for Members only and
you must supply info on the radio you are bringing (model number
and make). Also bring basic tools like screw drivers, cutters,
soldering iron if you have one. There are 4 slots left for the class.
