The Idaho Falls Bishops' Storehouse is holding a special workshop tailored to the needs of new radio operators. Experienced operators will also likely find information that is helpful. Everyone is invited. Please spread the word.
We are especially looking to help people who may have passed their Technician Class license exam, but haven't done much since. Stake specialists, you are encouraged to take advantage of this exciting opportunity by reaching out to everyone in your stake that is licensed but has not been active. Those who are not licensed will also learn much and will likely gain an interest in getting licensed.
