HAM training day(s) planning

On a recent flying day at Soboba, I mentioned to Alan Crouse that I really needed to stop slacking and get my HAM radio technician license so I could operate (legally) a radio while flying. Alan replied (I paraphrase), "A HAM radio training day at Marshall sounds exactly like something a new activities coordinator would put together!" So there we have it, looks like I've got a new task! The current vague outline is either a one day training, or two days of training, either the same weekend, or spread over two weekends. Spread over two weekends would give people time to study up what they learned, before taking the test the next weekend. Ideally, by the end of the training day(s), folks would walk away licensed HAM radio technicians, ready to add their words of wisdom to the AJ Airpark airwaves. I've gotten a suggestion to call the folks over at Windsports to see how they run their HAM day, I'll be doing that shortly. Thoughts? Is there interest in something like this? Suggestions from folks that have participated in something like this? Please post comments here, or email me (peter at peterjohanson dot com) [size=14][b]I've added a page to track the planning of the HAM class, please feel free to edit that, or make comments with suggestions. I will keep updating that with more details as the planning continues: http://www.crestlinesoaring.org/ham_class_2007_planning_notes [/b][/size]
