November testing results: 1 extra passed, 2 candidates passed both technician and general, and 3 passed their technician. Congratulations to all and thanks for your interest in amateur radio. It has been observed since we are doing socially distanced testing that: 1) We have more candidates testing and 2) The success at testing has increased. Study and take practice tests until consistently scoring 90% or better. Thanks to all. Bruce, WA7BAM
Wednesday November 18, 7 pm all are welcome (even non-hams) to join our meeting on Zoom meeting number 435-905-935 with no password needed.
