@dma Next time, think about teaching a one-day Tech class in addition to giving the test. Let me know if you have any questions. #hamradio

Teaching a One-Day Tech Class

@kb6nu @dma I think the target audience for this exam session are people who have an EE / Physics background, so a one day class is probably overkill.

I do promote your "no nonsense" study guides for both refreshing people's memories of basic EE / Physics and introducing some of the regulatory aspects

There are also affiliated groups around here (like the University of Washington Amateur Radio Club) who do classes, but are not in a position to run exams at the moment

@supersat @dma Well, if you think so, but despite it being a "Technician Class" license, more than half of the exam is about operating procedures and rules and regulations. These are things that EEs and physicists don't learn in the course of their education and careers.
