Exam Success!
The ARECC Em-Comm
and FCC Amateur License exams hosted by the MCARC on April 5th were a
great success. 11 people took the Em-Comm exams. Five went from
uncertified to ARECC II, five earned ARECC I, and one person went from
being certified at level I up to level II. Sixteen new certification
levels were obtained. President Don - WA8OWR and Madison County
EC Forrest - N8OIC were on hand to congratulate all on passing. Of
special interest we had an Australian ham who passed levels I & II.
For the license exams we hosted eight individuals. One non-ham earned
his General passing elements 2 & 3. Four passed the General and
three passed the extra. 14 total exams were administered.
Congratulations to club members Terri - N8TLK who upgraded to General,
and Gary - KD8EAE who upgraded to Extra.
