by Bob Ledford, WA4IDI

The first class of the DBARA HamBone College was completed today, April 28th, 2007.  All nine students that started the class stayed the entire eight weeks and when given a sample examination test all passed the sample test.  They now await the next scheduled Volunteer Examination Test Session on May 5th see the VE Test Calendar for time and location.

For information on the next scheduled class type and starting date contact one of the POC's.

HamBone College, the training arm of the Daytona Beach Amateur Radio Association, graduated 9 students from its latest entry level training class.

Editor note - as of 21 May 2007 it was reported that everyone had been able to successfully pass a license exam and all but one has a federally assigned amateur radio call sign now.]

Each earned their Bachelor of Technician Class Amateur Radio on April 28, 2007, the 8th and final session of the renewed DBARA ham radio training effort.

All of the graduates are expected to test for their Amateur Radio license at the May 5th Open VE Test Session to be conducted between 9 and 12 at Building 351, 450 Basin Street at the Halifax Marina on the north side of the Armed Forces Reserve Center.

The renewed training efforts undertaken by DBARA were inspired by the nearly continuous nagging of John Locicero KD5IBY. John is also responsible for the club's outreach and evangelism efforts at local schools and scouting groups during the last 2 years. Several DBARA members acted as instructors for the class and several others provided hands-on demonstrations of hand-held and mobile radio gear. The graduates of the class also had 3 opportunities to make on the air contacts.

Next up will be a General Class upgrade class and an Extra Class upgrade class. Stay tuned to this email list and the DBARA web site for details as they gel over the next few weeks. Another Technician Class will be offered in September.

Our thanks to all of the class organizers, instructors, demonstrators and, of course, the students for making this inaugural of DBARA's renewed training efforts a huge success!

Morning, For those interested in upgrading your license I would highly recommend our DBARA Ham College. Not to be too outspoken, because I'm new, but forget the cd's or any other aid out there. From personal experience I recommend our local club courses to get it all. If you need an "Elmer", they are ready willing and very able! Personal 'one on one' and visual lessons work best for me.
