Hawaii Island Amateur/Ham Radio notes:

According to Alan the class “is an on-line video chat meeting twice a week for eight weeks, most likely Monday and Thursday at 5 pm HST for an hour each.” Alan adds that “The class is free. It is a great course–a chance to acquire a news skill with a 1-on-1 instructor.” For more information, visit this site:
