Subject: The QSO Today Academy Event Opens Friday

06 September 2023

Hey Friend,


The First QSO Today Academy Event opens on Friday September 8th at 1800 PDT.  After 6 successful QSO Today Virtual Ham Expos that started with the COVID 19 pandemic in August 2020, the Academy is the recognition that  ham radio live events are back.  However, the QSO Today Project has resulted in over 500 excellent ham radio educational presentations with recorded questions and answers, and over 450 one hour interviews with active and prolific English speaking amateur radio operators.  All of this content will be loaded into the Academy.  


In addition, the Academy intends to have presentations on a monthly or semi-monthly basis. 


QSO Today Listener Sponsors have full access to the Academy Event and all Academy resources.   Tickets can be purchased for $15.00 for the Event weekend and a 30 day period following the Event weekend.
