Countdown To 2025
Congratulations New Hams
A great turnout for the November VE Session with a big congratulations going out to the following folks: Murugan Balasubramanian, Marsha Brashear, Jeremiah Dauphinals, Jason Hodkin, and Carly Geo who all got their Technicians license last night. In fact, at only 9 years old, Carly might have set a record completing her tech exam in about 2 minutes with a near perfect score. When asked after, she read the manual 3 times and took over 100 practice tests. Now that is some dedication!!! We can’t forget one last congratulations to Paul Walker who got a perfect score on his tech test and then took the general and got, ANOTHER PERFECT SCORE! Congratulations to you all, we can’t wait to hear you on the air.
