				Checkin from NW AR, SW MO area

				I've been following brushbeater blog off and on for a few years, and recently started listening to the podcast.
I got some friends into HAM radio recently, and I'm working to get my license as well. 
I have some beofengs and a LEIXEN VV-898 that I have not tested yet. I know this is ultra poor tier gear, but I know these can become my spares later when I get better gear.
I would actually like to know more about the following class:
                Scout Course: 1-3 October / $500 / Oklahoma

				Welcome aboard, I'm up in Missery.  
There is a course description, suggested items, and pre-arrival reading on Brushbeater's site:
-> 
https://brushbeater.org/course-packing-lists/
-> 
https://brushbeater.org/scout-course-reading-list/
As far as peculiarities of that particular class/location, shoot off an email to NC Scout.  He'd be the one with all the details.  I took his class in North Carolina and it was first rate.  Well worth the time/money/ammo.

Matt,
Thanks for the recommendation. Which type of class did you take?

I've taken his RTO Basic Course and his Scout Course.  Both were full of outstanding information,I had a hard time writing notes it came so quick.
