I am the Education and Learning Manager for the American Radio Relay League The National Association for Amateur Radio. I spent 21 years in the classroom teaching. I was fortunate enough to have some great administrators who allowed me to use amateur radio as a part of my curriculum. I now get to spend my days helping others learn more about amateur radio.Follow us on YouTube for Ham Radio reviews and tips.
