VISIT TO USMC CW CLASS
On April 23, Stan, W9FQN, and
Ralph, K6HAV, met P.J., N6UCJ, at
Camp Pendleton at the 1st Marine
Division's Radio Operators' Training
Class. P.J. arranged the visit so
that the graduating class of CW
radio ops could learn about amateur
radio and about how a license could
be obtained. Most of the class of
18 are at the 14-18 wpm level and
graduate as you read this. About
half of the class indicated an
interest in becoming radio amateurs
(they're already professionals!) We
will go back and try again with the
next class too. Sure could be a
fine source of new young hams!
