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.

Help A Ham

We all enjoy a hobby backed by science and theory however sometimes we’re touched by events that can’t be quantified and just don’t make any sense. With permission from the family, I’d like to ask for your help in supporting Amir (N6ADL) and Michelle Larian. For those new to the club, Amir has been a member of SFARC for some time and was our previous webmaster.

Amir and Michelle Larian welcomed their second daughter, Zahra June, into this world on August ninth, 2024. Zahra was born with an extremely rare neurological disease that severely limited her time with Amir and Michelle. Donations will go towards medical bills and any other expenses that arise during this time, while Michelle & Amir are both on leave from work for an extended amount of time. Anything you can do to help is appreciated.

As a follow-up to his excellent presentation on FT8 Fox/Hound mode, Alan will go into what it takes to plan, set up for, and work a DXpedition. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in what goes into an operation, gaining an appreciation of those that make it possible for hams to work exotic locations, and understanding the challenges involved in traveling abroad with radio equipment.
