The Long Island CW Club in New York is offering free online Morse code instruction for the “many youngsters at loose ends as a result of school closings due to COVID-19 concerns.” The club’s co-founder,
Howard Bernstein, WB2UZE, pointed out that learning Morse code is “a fun and educational activity for children of all ages that can fill part of the gap left by the current unfortunate situation that has closed so many schools across the country.”
Ongoing classes will take place Monday through Friday, specifically for school-agers anywhere across the country or overseas, via Zoom online video conferencing.
A computer equipped with a microphone and camera is required. Classes for elementary schoolers run 30 minutes starting at 1600 UTC, followed by 45-minute classes for middle- and high school-aged students, starting at 1645 UTC. Parental permission is required through advance registration.
Contact class instructor Rob Zarges, K2MZ, by e-mail or call 508-831-8248. — Thanks to Mel Granick, KS2G, ARRL New York City-Long Island Section Public Information Coordinator

We held the first two sessions of our planned Spring 2020 Ham Radio Bootcamp this year before COVID-19 disrupted our lives. The third session will be a Virtual Ham Radio Bootcamp.
Our third session was to be a trip to Ham Radio Outlet one evening where they opened it up to only Bootcampers. Unfortunately, we will not be able to hold that session.
Now we are planning a Virtual Ham Radio Bootcamp session. We will get together on a Zoom web conference and go over and answer your questions about equipment for your shack, using HRO, manufacturer’s and other websites as needed.
We will hold this session on Wednesday evening March 25th starting at 7:00 pm Eastern time. If you are interested, you can join the Zoom using this link. If you have never used Zoom before, plan to join around 6:45 pm to give you time to get set up.
