2001 VE Session
As a result from the five week Technician Class Course,
we now have 5 new HAMs in our area. Of the nine people starting the class
seven finished. One dropped due to lack of transportation. The seven tested
and five of them successfully passed and are new Technician Class Hams. One
also passed his General theory and is now looking forward to working on his
code. If you wish to help by loaning him your old code tapes please get with
me. One of the new Techs is ten years old.
PLEASE TREAT THESE NEW HAMS WITH DIGNITY AND ASSIST THEM WITH GETTING ON THE
AIR AND WORK WITH THEM TO BECOME GOOD HAMS. We lose over 50% of the new hams
in the first year. Let’s keep these folks radio active.
