[Noisebridge-discuss] CQ CQ CQ de KA6RCQ

[Michael Shiloh]

Michael Curry and my goal was to have the class at The Crucible in time 
for Burning Man.

I'll try to pull together a class at Noisebridge earlier.

The tricky part is the test. I'm not authorized to administer the test. 
There is a group in Oakland that runs tests fairly regularly, I think 
near downtown Oakland not far from The Crucible. Michael and I had hoped 
to take our Crucible class en masse to one of their tests.

Perhaps one of the veteran hams here is qualified? Jeff?
