The Spring 2020 class was interrupted by official reactions to the event we know as “COVID”. Darby Schools, including Darby Adult Education were shut down. The Darby Library whose meeting room I used for my classes was shut down. The people who were working for their Amateur Radio licenses were shut down. So was most of the social and business world.
I leave this page up as a sample of how I ran my training program based on the AARL Amateur Radio Technician Handbook. I lead a discussion and helped explain the topics in a chapter each week format.
With or without my assistance I think the text book is a good thing to read through in addition to online study.
