Six countries, two of them new, in an hour and a half. Mas o menos. NA9Q As far as I know, the subject of fall or winter training classes hasn't come up thus far this year. I presume that it will at some point. In the past few years when this subject has been discussed the general membership always feels that this is a worthwhile activity.
Support is always there for club sponsorship.
None the less, when it comes to finding volunteer instructors for the class, this task always seems to fall to the same few people for lack of support by anyone else. If you are like a vast majority of licensed amateurs, you came into the hobby through such a class. And that class undoubtedly was taught by one or more volunteer instructors. In fact, one of the most important factors contributing to the growth of amateur radio is the Elmer tradition that dates from the dawn of radio itself. I'm sure that anyone who has ever taught a ham radio class has had to choose between helping with classes and enjoying other perhaps more relaxing activities.
