Ladies & Gentlemen: Two items to report this week: 1. The 7-8th Grade Basic Electronics curriculum created by Nathan Mc Cray, as reported earlier, was completed and delivered to HQ on schedule on 8/30/16. The curriculum goes into beta testing at Grace Academy in Hartford this fall, and it will be circulated to a select group of Teachers Institute participants for a critical peer review. An edited and revised ARRL TI curriculum will be available to TI graduates to take back to their classrooms beginning next year. 1. At the six-month anniversary of our first Podcast, "The Doctor is In" with Joel Hallas and Steve Ford registered more than 112,000 down loads to date. The series has an average of 8,000 unique listeners. The sponsor, DX Engineering, renewed its sponsorship contract for six additional months. While we had virtually no basis for forecasting at the outset, this level of response significantly exceeded our optimistic expectation of 5,000 listeners. Have a pleasant weekend.
