The National Electronics Museum is sponsoring its well-received Operating
Course again starting April 15, 2021 and running each Thursday for 11 weeks
from 6:30 to 9:30 EDST on Zoom.   There is no charge for participation.
The purpose of these classes is to provide information to help licensed
radio amateurs to participate in the many on-the-air activities available
in the hobby.  The presenters are very experienced in their topics-many are
nationally known experts-and they will be available to answer your
questions following the presentations.   The exact order of presentations
will be determined and published in the next few weeks.   These are
independent

presentations, and participants are free to participate in any or all of
the evenings.   Feel free to pass this announcement along to others, but we
request that all prospective attendees register by emailing Tom Christovich
at tom.christovich at gmail.com

You will receive confirmation of enrollment and the Zoom link for
attendance by reply email.  Here is a tentative list of topics:
