January Ham course, North Van (1 Viewer)

[bj70_guy]

Just in case anyone's interested, I see the north shore club is doing a course in January.
6 Saturday mornings then the test.
I might take it just to actually learn all the stuff I guess I only memorized (and subsequently forgot...)

I want to take this course this winter. North Van, eh? That's a bit of a drive.

Keep an eye out for the other clubs too, like Surrey.

Phil from the Turtles was telling me that he got his in Chilliwack on a single weekend course offered by the 7 Day Adventist. Apparently they have a special interest in their church members getting their licenses. I could likely handle one weekend of driving. I think it was the old guy at Greendale Radio (off of Lickman) who put him onto their course.

I would rather have the full course rather than just getting licensed. Driving in to town for a 6th day of the week doesn't really appeal to me though.
