[nrv-hams] Ham Radio class info

[Randy Shake]

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the note.  What night will be classes be held?  Are the classes 
open to anyone?

Also, very interesting website/blog.  I have a 2006 V-star 1100, but just 
take very short trips.

> Some details on the first class:
>
> We will meet at 5:30pm in room 304 of Johnston Student Center. If you are
> driving, parking in the Derring parking lot on Perry Street is likely your
> best bet.  No hang tag is required after 5pm according to the person I 
> spoke
> to at parking.  The room is on the third floor above the Subway sandwich
> shop.  Which brings us to food.  Please feel free to bring finger foods 
> and
> a drink to the class.  We need to leave the room as neat as we found it 
> (or
> better) but I am sure lots of snacks get eaten there.

> Johnston Student Center is building number 193, behind Burruss which is
> yellow on the map.  Derring lot is marked P9
>
> The first night we will cover the material in Chapters 1 and 2 after
> introductions and a discussion of how you want the class to run.  We will
> have a few special guests from the VT Amateur Radio Association and the 
> New
> River Amateur Radio club who will help you learn about this hobby and tell
> you about some of the things that you can do with ham radio.  Don't be
> surprised if you get asked to be part of upcoming public service events!

> As you read the material, please do answer the questions cited in the 
> text.
> Make notes on any questions you want to ask the class or questions about 
> ham
> radio that are not answered in the text.  We will have hams that have done
> almost everything that the hobby offers in the room and we can answer your
> questions.
>
> Also, most of you know about the Advanced SkyWarn training on Thursday 
> night
> at 6:30 at the Inn at Virginia Tech.  Free and open to the public, this
> training fits right into one of the service aspects of ham radio.  And the
> presenter, Phil Hysell of the NWS Blacksburg office, does a great job of
> delivering a lot of information in a short time.
