The merger does not change things. Mergers usually degrade the services of
for proffit companies more than non-proffits anyway.

I love handi-hams. They help people with both much fewer skill and much
greater skill than I. They have volunteers who record several publications.
They have a site with lots of info to download. And Pat is very dedicated,
not the sort of grant-getting bureaucrat who does as little as possible --
Pat puts in lots of extra hours and is very commited.

They also have licens classes online as well as of course the radio camp.

They've had to scale back due to funding issues, but it's a great
organization, and even when I'm not as active I have renewed my membership.

I think the more you put in to something, the more you get out. Now that
I've been asking them for help lately, I've been trying to give more too,
writing articles, submitting manuals and  just helping people on this list.

Yes, you can hear the remote base with EchoLink. I listened to the meatball
net last Sunday and enjoyed it immensely.

Hello, I just filled out my handy ham application and sent it off in the
mai= l. I also saw on their website where they recently merged with another
organ= ization. I was just curious if you guys thought that there would be
changes t= o how it's ran,. I mean every company that goes Through a merger,
makes the b= lanket statement that  everything's fine, there will be no
changes and  blah=  blah blah. I was also curious about their lectures on
technician general an=  extra class. Are they any good? Do they go deep into
the theory or do they j= ust give you enough information for you to pass the
test? And with these lec= tures, do you need to purchase any extra study
materials that goes along wit= h the lectures? And do any of you guys use
EchoLink to control the remote ba= se stations?
