of you that are general that would like a good refresher. After you all
get your General ,we will start teaching the Extra class. Again if you
are an extra and would like a refresher you are welcome also. You can
pick the book of your choice. We will be using the ARRL General book to
start with. Testing sessions will be set up with the VEs, for time and
location of testing.
Again you do not need to be a member of the RRRA to come to the class
