- As a direct result of our SAREX experiment on Sept. 17 with
- STS-47, many Wake County Schools are now in the process of
- setting up Amateur Radio Stations. The Students, Teachers,
- and Parents are EXCITED about Amateur Radio !
-
- As a result we are looking for equipment to help our school
- system in support of Amateur Radio.
-
- The first such school is Wiley Elementry. Wiley is an
- International 'Magnet' school that teaches five foreign
- languages, geography, and they are in the process of
- establishing a technical education curriculum.
-
- A committee has been set up to help these schools and we
- are asking the nation's (and world's) Amateur community
- for donations of equipment for school stations. We ask
- that you send a letter stating what equipment that you wish
- to donate (tax-deductable), and we will try to match what
- is available to what the schools' wish to have. Then a
- letter will be sent to acknowledge the donation for your
- tax records.
