Ok. Here's comes another 'help the new #amateurradio club' question.
First, some background. Monday, my summer radio class was meeting. One group is putting together a Get On The Air (GOTA) box. This involves fastening components to steel shelving that fits into a gator box. As a consequence, my students need to use a power drill. My youngest student, a go-getter male biology major, doesn't let planning slow him down. We saw him using a power drill as a saw (don't ask), and his working position put him at risk of ventilating his kneecap.
Thus my question about safety training. Do any of you who are involved with #amateurradio clubs have a safety training program for power tools and RF energy, for example? If so, I'd love to learn about what you do.
(While I wait, I'll be planning a safety briefing for the students, tomorrow.)

So the club should deputize you with a 'Fart You' tool, allowing you to deliver an impersonal response to that crap

A sign that SOMEONE thinks the club take Field Day too seriously.

And don't forget that the shirt would have the dates. Very important detail.

This is the question of the times. Please continue to update us on how you wrestle with it.

I see, now. Thank you.
Does your article share the cost of an historical 'fireworks' display. IU don't see it.

The drone show for the opening of the X Games in Ventura was spectacular, according to my sources. I wonder what it cost.
(The cost would include transportation to and from the site, operators, drone hardware, wear-and-tear, and programming investment/value.)
