Gents!
I've been discussing another Amateur HAM Operators course with the trainers that work at Boeing. If you are interested in getting your license, PM me your personal email and I'll pass it on to Steve. The course itself doesn't cost you anything, but you'll have to pay for the registration. I believe that fee is $12, so it's pretty inexpensive. Radios are also pretty inexpensive (unless you want to go nuts and build a mobile communication station) and the range and clarity far exceeds that of the CB's we generally use on the trails.
When I took the class, it was all day on Saturday (reviewing the test material) and most of the day Sunday (one last run through the material and then taking the test). They need 10 folks in order to hold the class, I'm not sure how many are already set to take it.
