Amateur radio Class-Five Flags Amateur Radio Assoc & Pensacola Building 96 Room 9663
I didn't find out I missed the 03/03/2025 fieldtrip until initially showing up to the wrong building (initially went to the public safety building 03/04/2025 at 6:00pm after finding out I missed the Field trip my father gave me a ride to Pensacola State College).
Email apology from 03/04/2025 account review-
I am sorry I missed the field trip to the public safety building march 3rd 2025; I misread the class course dates and thought the field trip was today even thinking I was supposed to be at the Public Safety Building tonight. When I arrived at the public safety building tonight 03/04/2025, I noticed the doors were closed and the lights were off, I checked my class schedule and realized the field trip was yesterday March 3rd; I apologize for missing the Field Trip.
I was really looking forward to having another chance to check out the ARES Radio station at the public safety building 03/03/2025. I know Mr. Eugene Bannon said it wasn't any different than it was at the BRACE CERT Basic Training Final but I think It would have been helpful to check out the ARES room again because of the topic being covered.
Calander entry from calander update of event this morning.
went to public safety building at 6:00pm due to thinking the field trip to ARES at the public safety building as was in place of the 03/04/2025 amateur radio class. After looking at the class schedule, It turned out i had missed the class field trip to the ARES station at the public safety building as it was scheduled for 03/03/2025. My father then gave me a ride to Pensacola State College and I arrived at my PSC course at 6:30pm. At 7:00pm the class took a break, and was listening to one of the instructors (larrys) experiences with amateur radio and have a few questions answered while sitting in the PSC building 96 lobby. the conversation with Larry about amateur radio went longer then expected and the course let out as the conversation came to an end.
I appreciate Larry taking me aside tonight at class and answering my questions and telling me a bit about his experiences and about what volunteers could expect to contribute or be expected to contribute during an emergency or disaster situation.

Additional Information: The Five Flags Amateur Radio Assoc (FFARA) & Pensacola State College (PSC) co-sponsor the "Amateur Radio Introduction & Upgrade" (Course # 06254) at the PSC Main Campus (off 9th Ave, near the Airport) in Bldg. 96, Room 9663 on Tues and Thurs Evening from 6-8:30 PM. Registration is through PSC's Continual Education Dept, since this is not a college credited course. The class is listed in the Continual Education & Leisure Catalog under the hobby section. The cost is $21.00 that PSC requires for the usage of their facilities and their administration cost. The class has 2 Field trips (one Escambia County Emergency Operation Center, the other to FFARA monthly meeting), a hands-on Demo (our Mini-Field day), and Antenna Construction, besides the classroom instructions on Radio theory, electrical/electronic theory & math. A class Syllabus will be handed out to the class on the 1st day of the class. Daily attendance is NOT MONITORY, but strongly recommended, thus the reason for the syllabus on the 1st day of the class. This is so the students will know what is being taught on what nights. Register at https://pensacolastate.estore.flywire.com/products/amateur-radio-introduction-amp-upgrade-spring-258114
