Before we look at international Amateur/Ham Radio news, here are some news articles for Hawaii Island radio amateurs:
Online CW course begins in April 2019.
Alan Maenchen (AD6E/KH6TU) is taking registrations for his April 2019 online CW class. The current class runs until the end of February 2019. According to Alan, the class “is an on-line video chat meeting twice a week for eight weeks for an hour each. Exact days and time could change depending on student availability. Since this is an internet based virtual classroom, no commute is needed. You can do this from home. Technician class hamss can participate and practice their skills on their 80, 40, 15, and 10M CW allocations.” For more information visit this site:
