[W5SFA] New Hams

[Dennis Email]

SFA Radio Club,    

 

As an update to activities at Washington County Amateur Radio Club for those that might be interested.   We put on a 6 week class for the Technician class license in which we had 12 students. We registered the class with the ARRL, and in conclusion offered testing for those in the class and others in the area interested in first time testing or upgrade.   After the smoke cleared we examined 15 candidates for licensing and upgrades.  We now have 9 newly licensed hams in our area and 2 that upgraded.  Overall it was a very successful endeavor and I feel it enhanced the local ham community from Austin to Bryan/College Station based on candidate testing.

Thanks to the efforts of Dennis Cody WR5DC and the many volunteers at 

the Washington County Amateur Radio Club, we have two new hams in the area.

Both men are retired military with distinguished service at duty 

stations around the world.  They are aware of the repeater nets in the 

area.  Should you hear them on the air, give them a call and welcome to 

our hobby.

 

Hopefully Dennis can give us more detail on the success of the training 

sessions.  Great work
