Subject: The QSO Today Academy Event Opens Next Weekend

03 September 2023

Hey Friend,


Our first QSO Today Academy kicks off on Friday, September 8th, 6 PM PDT. We'll have live streams from Ham Radio Workbench and RATPAC. Then, Saturday, September 9 at 0800 PDT,  we start with 25 amateur radio presentations and a video chat for ham radio talk.


You might wonder, "Why do we need online events when in-person ones are back?" For me, living 5600 miles from the East Coast USA, online is the only option to join cool ham radio talks.


Our $15 ticket is cheaper than:

  • A fast-food dinner

  • Driving anywhere

  • Time away from home or work

  • Staying in hotels

  • Travel tickets


Plus, no traffic, no lines, and no big costs. You get to hear and see speakers from all over the U.S. and Canada from your home or ham shack. 


Busy next week? You can watch replays for 30 days in the Academy.


Our Academy networking lounges let you chat with speakers and others. Find friends, mentors, or students for your next ham radio project—all from your own place.


Grab your ticket today and see you online next week!
