Can you believe it? Winter is here, and there are opportunities to practice away from the house! Time to tune up the antennas, check batteries, check Go Bags, and prepare for the exciting practice opportunities coming our way! We have classes coming up, races to help out, and other nets and radio practice times! Check for your local nets, usually on Mondays, Wednesdays, and sometimes Thursdays! Don't forget the Hospital Nets! Those occur on the 4th Friday of every month. Contact Dave Garner K4YRK (email K4YRK@metersinc.org) for more information. Each hospital should have a team! |

General License Class Jan 12 & 19, 2019
The General Class license review course is January 12 and 19, beginning at 8:00 AM each day at the Knoxville County EOC, 605 Bernard Ave., Knoxville, TN. We plan to have testing at the end of the second day. This class is open to anyone who wishes to upgrade from Tech. Interested persons should contact METERS Secretary, Cathi Cogle, K4TMW, at cathiwim@hotmail.com or Nick Cook, W3VN, GadgetGuyTN@gmail.com. We will be using the book put out by Ham Radio Schools. (https://hamradioschool.com/ham-radio-study-guide-hamradioschool-com/) It may be ordered online, but copies are available at a discounted price of $20 from Nick Cook, W3VN. Students are expected to read the book prior to coming to the review. NOTE: This book and the review are more than just a look at the answers to the question pool. It is intended that students will not only pass their tests afterwards, but gain practical knowledge that will help them as they begin their exploration of the HF bands! Hope to see you there! |
