What's the difference? A
Facebook Page is not very interactive. It is a primarily an information
page of a business or organization for the purpose of providing a
single point of reference where the owner/administrator can push out
notifications. A visitor to this page can "Like" the page and post
comments to a notification, if allowed. A
Facebook Group is completely interactive. Once you "join" such a group,
you can post topics, events, etc. just as the owner/administrator can.
However, the group owner/administrator can impose limitations and
restrictions plus manage/moderate members' activities as needed. This is
the type of Facebook presence that will allow maximum member
participation, contributions, and discussion threads.

Re: ? Local Ham Club Activities ?
Hi Bob adn Group, I don't know of any. They are very rare these days. As you probably remember, we used to run courses but found the self-study method to be the best for most people. Today,
you can find on Youtube several types of Tech license info: (1)
informational and (2) instruction based. The instruction types are
usually a series of 5 to 10 videos that are typically real courses that
have been recorded. I have put a request to about 10 folks in the Valley that tend to know if there are classes. I'll let you know what I find out. Regards, Joe, N2QOJ On Sun, Feb 6, 2022 at 5:32 PM Bob <bob@...> wrote:
