This a repeat of my previous announcement. There is one more day of online registration for Darby Adult Ed classes. We stand ONE STUDENT SHORT of having enough to make it happen.
I am bringing another amateur radio operator licensing class to Darby, Montana via the Darby Adult Education program in its Spring 2020 schedule. I have not keept track, but think I have personally assisted 40 or 50 people to earning their FCC licenses through my study groups in the Darby library.
The snide saying goes, “Those who CAN, DO. Those who cannot, TEACH”. I’m okay wearing that. Good instructors are as rare as good anything else. I did not choose this calling, blessing or curse. It chose me. Run with your talents.
Every person who has come to all of the class sessions and studied two or more hours between sessions passed the FCC Technician License Exam at the end. You can too. While some had electrical, electronic, mechanical or science backgrounds, most did not.
If you want to print out a copy of the above flier, here is a .pdf of it:
