Abstract: Let $ \mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of odd characteristic, and let $ N$ be an odd natural number. An explicit fiber product construction shows that if $ N$ divides the class number of some quadratic function field over $ \mathbb{F}_q$, then it does so for infinitely many such function fields.
