[nrv-hams] Ham Radio class info

Sat Mar 12 20:20:49 EST 2011

Left out that vital info, didn't I?  The classes are Wednesday night starting this week, the 16th, and ending with a review session and VE session on 4/27.  We are starting at 5:30 until 7:30 but I will discuss this the first night to see if we need to move that a little. The class is on the VT campus.

The class is open to anyone, but there is a reading assignment for the first week.  I have one extra book, so if you know someone that can make that schedule, have them contact me right away and I'll get the book to them.  The book and exam fee totals $39 which is due before the class starts.  Call me at 320-3595 if you or someone else needs more info.

And as far as bikes go, I love riding and meeting people ...

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.
