Relay the signal! We will be able to handle anyone interested in attending. Since people need to register, we know in advance if we need to step up our Zoom capacity. Our biggest boot camp had around 480 people.
Would you be interested sharing your syllabus and related materials? Would love to put something like this on for our local radio community. We have a lot of both ham and GMRS people who I think would eat this information up.
Thani you for this notice -- I registered, but then after click the site took me to a date earlier in 2022
Thanks to all who attended. We had around 100 people join in. We will do this again in the spring of 2023. Watch for more info.
