EmailFromRonHam Radio Education Ron Wed, Mar 17, 9:30 PM (15 hours ago) to Michael, Jack, Phil, Pete Hello Board of Education, My Soapbox Here is a draft proposal for a Ham Radio Education plan that could be used as a starter. The organization defined below will keep the program focused on the subject matter you have selected and still allow it to expand as much as the effort the group would like it to. It could start off great and grow into something spectacular. I am not up to the task of taking on major role but would be willing to be a contributor. The first thing that needs to happen, after some discussion, is the confirming of the board. All of the topics, contributors, times and dates on the attachment are factious and put there to show as examples. Real information should be determined by The Board after it is confirmed. The structure provided is intended to be a starting point for an improved version that the Board comes up with but I do suggest that the presentations stay focused on educating the viewers. There are lots of podcasts on line that offer conversational information & news and many of them are very successful at what they are doing but I did not find any that really stayed focused on a structured ham radio educational process. Presenting the topics in small modules will allow anyone to select information they can use without listening to a bunch of interesting but not necessarily educational stuff. It sounded like the group’s goal is the education of ham radio enthusiasts. Organization Focused on education and learning Goal The Goal is to increase the knowledge of ham radio enthusiasts. This program can be used to educate potential hams but is not intended as a licensing class. It is intended to educate current or future hams in the overall knowledge of ham radio. It is intended to be a focused educational tool to expand the knowledge of potential and existing hams so the hobby will be ever more enjoyable. Fundamental topics and antennas are a great starting point. Board of Directors Five members including a President President (votes only as a tie-breaker) Vice President/Secretary, Treasurer, Operations and Marketing, Advisors as needed - Temporary non board member. Directors as needed - May or may not be board members. Contributors Anyone can be a contributor Presentations Prerecorded Topic sessions Reviewed by and voted on by the board May be voted in or out of the program by a majority vote Our material must be accurate without infringing on anyone’s copyrighted material Live Q & A sessions scheduled Hosted by one or more of the Contributors Could be Zoom or podcasts Advertising and Marketing We should market and advertise the program We should include paying advertisers when the program becomes popular Dedicated website Ham Radio Education hamradioeducation.com (I suggest this name and believe it is available) Our index page will show the module presentation Title, Presenter, Length, Date Added The only limitation on topics is: Must be ham radio related.
