Second Hammies Camp also 100%

The second Hammies camp was held in December 2016 and attended by Colin, Caitlin, Nicole, and Logan.  Apart from Nicole, all were from the First Walmer Scout Group.

The camp was not a residential one – just a day-visitor format with classes and practical in the First Walmer Scout Group hall.  Andrew Gray and I once again divided the work and managed another 100% pass rate.

A special thank you goes to Donovan ZS2DL who came out to invidulate the exam for SARL.

One thing we tried that we will be doing again is using Hammies to teach Hammies.  We had Mike Higgs ZU2MOO and Dakota Watson ZU2DW on staff helping with phonetics and Q-Codes.

It has been decided that, although this camp was also a success, the original format produced a better atmosphere and more was achieved in the limited time available.

Welcome Logan – ZU2D, Caitlin ZU2CG, Colin ZU2CGM, and Nicole ZU2NX.

 

Every one has one of those moments!

Just a brag note here to say that today we heard officially that the pass rate for the first ever Hammies Boot Camp was 100% Thanks to the hard work of some people like Andrew Gray ZS2G, Juanita, and Beverley, I can now introduce the following new hams:
