 Ham In A Day class, Warren, 
PA.  
________________________________
  
Who: To EVERYONE interested, please feel free to 
forward this.

What: HAM IN A DAY

When: Saturday March 24th 
2012

Where: Warren Salvation Army 311 Beech St. Warren PA. 
16365

Why: There have been numerous interests in Amateur Radio over the 
past 2 years, and since I have held previous "HIAD" (Ham In A Day) sessions, it 
is time to hold another one again.

Amateur Radio assists the public in 
ways they rarely notice OR hear about, volunteers like us get little to no 
recognition but volunteer without question when and how we are 
able.

Preregistration is required, the last day to register is March 
20th, to assure we have enough study materials for all.

I have set an 
initial limit of 40 applicants. There is NO FEE for the class. Please bring food 
and drinks as you feel necessary, as this is a free class there is no provision 
for food and drinks to be provided. There is a 1 hour lunch 
period.

Amateur Radio 
operators assist in nearly every hurricane and large tornado event as they are 
needed and their time allows them to volunteer, Amateurs volunteer for many 
other events including bicycle races, marathons, dog sled races, and anywhere 
there is a need for communications assistance.

Even if you are viewing 
this event page as a currently licensed Amateur, you just might possibly know 
someone else that may be interested in becoming a "ham", by all means, pass this 
information along and let them know.

I am currently still in the early 
planning stages of this session and do not know which organization will be doing 
the examinations at the end of the day, so I have no idea what the testing fee 
is currently, everyone will be well covered by bringing $20 with them, who 
knows, you will either have the fee (if any) covered with change, or you have a 
spare $20 in your pocket, I will definitely update this page when I find out the 
final fees myself.

I will check this event page very often and make any 
and all updates known as soon as possible, as well as try to answer all 
questions to the best of my knowledge.
