Darby Adult Ed classes

This semester I am offering three classes through the Darby Adult Education program. Their local reach is great with direct mail flyers going to every mailbox in the Darby zip code.

I notice their website is not functioning, so I will do a little boosting of my class offerings here.

Two Way Radio in the Bitterroot
Handy in many situations, radio communications can be life saving when phones are down or out of reach. This 2-hour overview of radios covers walkie-talkies across the yard, comm options throughout the Bitterroot, to ham radios around the world. What radios should you have for emergencies? What do they cost? What do they do? How can you be sure they will be available when you really need them? Regular, non-technical people become HAM radio operators all the time. Should you? If so, how?
