Fourteen students took the class.
This was the first general license class SPARC has conducted in several years. Amit, WY2Z, suggested the class and was the coordinator for the event.
We used the W5YI Group general class presentations but they were significantly updated to reflect the current general class question pool and to arrange them in an order as desired by the instructors.
The instructors were: Paul, K4PDF; Kevin, W4KLS; Larry, W8ANT; Corey, WA1EM; Monte, KV4KS; and Henry, K2BFY.
