March VE session results

Posted on by

At our monthly club house session two exams were administered.  This resulted in one new Technician license – KD2RPT.  He is in the military and not currently resident in-country.

At the March Hamfest we had one upgrade to General – K4PLL.

This Saturday 9 am members will be cleaning out the Communications trailer, checking wires & cables,
Testing radios. Doing some upgrades to the power distributions systems as well.
We can always use your help. Come on down to the club house about 9AM
This is a GCARC club event and a good way for you to support your club is to participate in some of these events.
This will prepare the trailer, and the operators, for any upcoming club events or emergency needs.
We hope to see you there.
Benjamin Franklin: “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” Ben Franklin the inventor of the 160 meter vertical kite antenna…it was a shame they had not invented the radio yet. he would have been 59! 🙂
