    One day Ham Class-North Salt Lake City

    The City of North Salt Lake (Davis County) will be hosting a one day Ham Radio class and exam on March 19th. The class will start at 08:00 and end around noon. Then there will be self study time followed by the exam. For further information or to register for the class, contact Gary Davis at KE7MQF@ARRL.NET. You must register for the class by 16 March to attend.

    Do you have ham upgrading classes? Just wondering because we have been running short courses for a while now, over 700 members have participated. Of those who certified, and most did, the actual participation afterward is very poor. Turnout for upgrading classes is spotty. When we have a class a few will turn out for class but then for the next class it's often mostly a different group of people and so there are a lot of holes in the educational process.

    I'm comparing that to a long class that I have worked with through a local amateur radio club. There the course would start in the beginning of January and run until the first week or two of April, twice a week for two hours a night plus several Saturday morning clinics. We charged those people $200 each for their training and very few dropped out and most became active after being certified. I know it's quite a different scenario. It sure would be good to have a higher active rate among LDS members. It would be nice to see a higher percentage of church leaders take the course and become active too.

    My question to all is - "is a church leader in charge of a ward or stake still a leader if they cannot communicate after some sort of disaster, natural or man made?" I think that the answer is obvious. It seems like they all assume that satellite communications will work and or cell phones will work. Not worth a persons life to trust those mediums.
