The first will be the Michigan QSO party on April 18th, where it will likely be a smaller group, more interested in getting their license.
The second will be Field Day, where we have plans to host a much larger group. I'll continue working and encouraging them to actually get licensed. |

I helped teach a new ham class over the past three weekends, and at least one so far is licensed, with several more I think scheduled to test next weekend. So also @hamchallenge #HC13S 🎉 |
