I didn’t mention at the time that there is an organization that does have training materials. I didn’t know if they had updated their materials but they have. That organization is HANDIHAM.ORG. They have a membership dues of $15.00 a year which entitles a person to take any of their classes and to download any of the material they have on their website. Scott and I have both used materials from HANDIHAM and it is quite well-done. I even went to one of their radio camps about ten years ago. It was interesting and for the most part was quite enjoyable. <o:p></o:p></h3><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you wish to have more information about their current offerings you may go to their website at<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Handiham.org<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And read their materials and sign up if are interested.
