The class was taught at the Sheriff's Substation in Sterling, VA.
Two students participated in this course. Both subsequently passed the technician examination. One studies a little more and also passed the General license exam at the same time.
The instructors continued the tradition of providing excellent instruction. We continued our tradition of having a high examination passing rate.
The class coordinator / organizer was Amit, WY2Z. The instructors were David, KF4PBU; Kevin, W4KLS; Eric, KF5LR; Gordon, NQ4K; and Suzin, N8SEM; and Larry, W8ANT.
Everything went well. Everything was well organized.
Amit, WY2Z, the class coordinator. He has to start preparing for the class about two months before the start of the class.
A very small class. Usually we have 15-24 students. Only had two show up this time. Do not know why,
Amit, WY2Z, leads the first class instructor, David, KF4PBU, to the front of the room. This is the beginning of the class. Have to hope that all are awake.
David, KF4PBU, taught T1 – Commission’s Rules; T2 - Operating Procedures and T7 – Practical Circuits. David is showing some enthusiasm.
Kevin, W4KLS, demonstrated his portable digital HF station. Not shown here is the buddy-pole antenna Kevin sets up outside.
Kevin, W4KLS, taught T4 - Amateur Radio Practices. Kevin has a good memory for humor, so we can assume the class was well entertained.
After lunch, Eric, KF5LR, taught T5 - Electrical Principles, and T6 - Electronic and Electrical Components. Some slides have pictures to help explain the topic.
Gordon, NQ4K, taught T0 - Safety, and T8 - Signals and Emissions. These are hard classes to teach at the end of day.
Larry, W8ANT, and Suzin, N8SEM, started Sunday morning off with T9 - Antennas and Feed Lines and T3 - Radio Wave Propagation. They followed that with several practice examinations.
