Interestingly enough, I have been pondering your statement during the early
morning hours as I try to go back to sleep.
You say "teaching" Amateur radio.
How many students in the school? Have they been canvassed to determine an
interest?
Is this a mandatory or elective class, with credits toward graduation?
What is the end goal of the class? Licenses? Ecomms? Technical training?
Will this class continue upon you moving on, either through retirement or a
better job prospect?
If you are teaching a class, why do you need equipment? Many learned about
Amateur Radio by purchasing and digesting the Radio Amateur's Handbook, I in
1955. No inet then. Equipment was built, antennas were wires. My wife just took
a Ham-Cram course. In at 0900, tested and graded by 1700.
Or, as I suspect, this is a potential ham club. Which would be, IMHO, great.
