For the first time at the NMEA Conference and Expo, ABYC is offering their Marine Electrical Fast Trac. In response to requests from students and employers, ABYC has created a pathway to certification that is quicker and more affordable! Unlike the customary ABYC education programing, which consisted of a four-day class and a test, the Fast Trac is an option in which most of the study is done independently. Students come together for just one day for review and testing. While classroom time is limited to one day, students will have access to the instructor via email during the study period preceding the review/test day. There will also be two Webinars presented to the students by the instructor, Ed Sherman. To register, visit www.abycinc.org. All registrants get a complimentary one day pass to the NMEA Conference and Expo.

Televisions on a boat are increasingly commonplace. With the simple-to-install Glomex Avior VT300 Omnidirectional TV/FM antenna from GA Communications, it's never been easier to bring analog and digital broadcasts onboard—at a price that's hard to ignore.
The most noticeable feature of the Avior VT300 antenna is its compact white, anti-yellowing radome. At only 4" dia. x 8" H and 8.8 oz., it's specifically made for smaller boats that can't accommodate large TV antenna domes and only need short range reception, depending on height and conditions. The amplifier allows the antenna to have an increase in gain with a 24.5 dB average to receive vertical and horizontal polarized TV signals simultaneously from 360°.
