Also keep in mind the new privileges that Technicians have regarding HF
since the changes in Dec. 2006 and February 2007. Possibly print out the
NEW band charts from the ARRL site and hand them out. You could give an
HF operating demo for example.

I actually have a bit of a problem explaining to potential Technician
Class licensees that they have CW privileges on HF bands. It just seems
either ironic or silly.

An HF demo is an excellent idea, but probably not possible as part of the
actual class. Setting up an HF station at the classroom location would be
an interesting challenge. (Might be fun, though.) Perhaps I will invite
the class to visit me at home so I can do some HF work, or even schedule
an extra session that's billed as a review session plus demo.


If some hams in your area have mobile setups (like I do in my car), invite
one of them to come over and demo it in the vehicle.
