We can always use net controllers, which means that you can try your hand at running a LEARA net! Give it a try, it's not that hard. Learn the voices and call signs of your fellow radio members. We presently have 7 active net controllers to bring you the net each week. Why not join up and give us a hand. You can even do a part time shift - say 4 times a year! Give it a try!

Cuyahoga Falls ARC Online Tech License Classes Start Oct 6th
The Cuyahoga Falls ARC will sponsor Technician and General Licensing Classes this fall and winter. The Tech class starts on Oct 6 and will run for six weeks. Time is 1:30 to 4:00 PM, and the classes will be held online via Zoom and Google Classroom. For more information, you can visit tiny.cc/beaham.
.
I know what you are thinking: “Why would I be reading this if I didn’t already have my Tech License?” That’s partially true; we are running this article because we need your help. Potential Hams do not know about licensing classes or how Amateur Radio Licensing works. So we need you to find potential new Hams and inform them about the class.
What’s different about these classes? In addition to teaching the material you need to pass the exam, we will devote time to things that will get you one the air and operating!
This year, we will be working in conjunction with the M.O.R.E. Project. Students who complete the class and pass the license exam will be eligible to receive a GOTA (Get On The Air) package of free equipment, including a VHF/UHF HT.
Because we draw attendees from around the country, we always recommend they join a local radio club. If you recommend this class to someone, please let them know about your local club so they can find mentors in their area.
