They had classes to get certified and once a month they had an evening where they would all get on and chat.

Our stakes does this, as does the Newport Beach stake when we lived there. Sunday night was HAM chat. I wonder if it is really common across the country? It is a good idea.
I was just asked to get HAM certified and be an emergency coordinator for my neighborhood zone. The equipment cost isnt too bad and the classes are free.
After today, I am much more motivated to go to the classes.
