I am planning on attending if my work schedule will allow. The next scheduled test in Alb. is the 3rd Saturday in April.

P.S. Paul, you and I get a 10% discount as CNM faculty.

I would encourage all that can to attend. Getting your tech license allows you to have much better communications when in remote locations. Also in times of emergencies. You can pick up a new handheld 2 meter radio cheap. With this you can talk via repeaters all over, even link to internet and make phone calls.

Yes I still use CB on the trail to talk to other vehicles in the group. But now can talk to people on the other side of the mountains or at the base camp.
