[SMCARA] Extra Cohort Study Group

[Tom Shelton]

As Steve noted, although I am comfortable with the skills required to take and pass the Extra Class exam, I am not comfortable with my ability to present this information in a formal classroom environment.  As Clint Eastwood said, “A man has to know his limitations.”

That said, would there be any interest in putting together a study group for the extra class exam.

In general, I would reserve a room for the study group to meet.  The club would provide the ARRL Study Guide at my cost (I get a reduced rate and no tax or shipping/handling charge).  The club would provide an instructor manual (which includes a CD with power-point presentations for each lesson.  I would sketch out a 8 to 10 week lesson plan for the group to read and discuss.

I would not be involved in the sessions, but would be available to help a facilitator with the session preparation.  This facilitator could be a volunteer Extra class ham or a member of the cohort.  

This is just an idea at this time.  Please let me know your ideas, suggestions, etc.  Also, would a weekend or weekday meeting time be better?

Regards,

Tom Shelton, AB3IC
