Hello Fellow Whitman Members. I hope everyone had a good weekend.<br>
Great News The Technician class has concluded and the VE session
was last<br>
Thursday with 2 new Techs and an upgrade to General. The other
folks that<br>
took the class need a little more time.<br>
There will be an Elmer session soon as well to help the new and
any folks<br>
needing some help. We will notify you when and where it will take
place.<br>
Thank you again Ross and the training crew and Jeff N1SOM for
leading the<br>
VE Session.<br>
<br>
