From Mojave Repeater Actual;
Good afternoon all,
I am very excited for our upcoming course on August 20th and 21st in Garrettsville, OH hosted by Strategic Dark Solutions. This email includes all of the coordinating instructions needed to have a successful weekend at the course.
We will conduct classroom instruction from 9:00 AM to Noon and break for one hour for lunch. We will bring food into the classroom since there are not many options for lunch nearby. We will resume class at 1:00 PM and plan to wrap up for the day around 4:00 PM.
We will meet again on day 2 at 9:00 AM for the practical application and field exercise portion of the course. There will be some light hiking involved in the prac app. I will share a pin to the assembly area during our classroom day on Saturday.
Please plan to bring lunch/snacks with you for this day. We are planning to wrap up the practical application by 2:30 PM and debrief. Following the conclusion of the course, we will be open to any additional practice or instruction requested.
