Jan. 21, 2021: You’ve heard of a “perfect storm.” But what about a perfect solar storm? A new study just published in the research journal Space Weather considers what might happen if a worst-case coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth. Spoiler alert: You might need a backup generator.

My FIRST online General Class amateur radio license class starts on Monday, October 5, 2020. It will consist of eight, two-hour sessions starting at 9 pm EDT (6pm PDT) and running until 11 pm EDT (8pm PDT). The eight sessions will take place on the following dates:
The cost is $25 for adults. High school and college students can attend for free. If you’re a student, all you have to do to register is send an email to cwgeek@kb6nu.com stating that you want to take the class. All others can register using PayPal or Amazon Pay here.
I’ll be using my No-Nonsense General-Class License Study Guide (for tests given between July 2019 and June 2023). It’s available as an ebook, paperback book, or audiobook.
When I get your registration, I will put you on a mailing list and send details about how to join the Zoom meeting before the class.
Testing IS NOT part of this class. To take the test, you’ll have to register for an online test session by going to https://hamstudy.org/sessions or attend a Midland VE Team test session. The cost ranges from $10 – $15, depending on the Volunteer Examiner group that’s administering the test.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
