MORSE CODE Practice for Middle School Students is going
WELL! It is fascinating to see their interest in this
unique skill.
TECHNICIAN HAM RADIO COURSE Totally unexpected TV-20 Coverage TV-20 1:19 video coverage  Our class got a "97%" (working together) on their first Practice Test (hamstudy.org) You would have been so proud of our instructors!! Jim Bledsoe KI4KEA Amateur Extra T0, T1 Brett Wallace NH2KW General Class T3, T0 Emily Wallace KO4JWC General Class T4 Eric Pleace KO4ZSD Amateur Extra T5 Gordon Gibby KX4Z Amateur Extra T6, T7 Leland Gallup AA3YB Amateur Extra T8, T9 You would just not believe how WELL this course is going right now. We have been EXACTLY on time for every talk so far, and we have just under twenty taking the course and getting IMMERSED in ham radio. ARRL NFL Section TaskBook Evaluators Guess which club has a whopping 43% of the entire section's taskbook evaluators?? That is evidence of commitment to following the directive of ARRL Leadership. Arc Thames NFL SEC is providing our Section with a healthy dose of openness and transparency as we strive toward the goal of a truly well-trained volunteer ARES(R) across the nation. County Emergency Coordinators were required by the Board of the ARRL to obtain the Level III signoff within 1 year of appointment...unless given extra time by the Section Manager. The next logical step would be to publish how we are doing at that ARRL Requirement. Always avoid "over-promising." If your volunteer org. says you're going to do something, by golly, DO IT! 1. WONDERFUL Winlink Presentation by Jeff Capehart Thursday evening -- EIGHTEEN Participants 2. THE GENERATOR LIVES!! Our first DIESEL 5kw Generator Purrs like a Mountain Lion! 3. Our FIRST GPS NTP SERVER WORKS!! -- Thanks to Jim Bledsoe! 4. New ANTENNA at Eric Pleace's House! What a great group!! Watch us TEAR THROUGH IMPROVEMENT PLANS!!
