A successful test taker gives a double thumbs up

At the end of the session we had nine new hams! As always there was plenty of food available.

Pizza, donuts, and soda, Oh My!

Following the session, club president Christian KE2HJO (also a recent Extra upgrade) outlined the e-board’s plan for upcoming meetings and events.

More new hams eating pizza

All credit is due to our excellent e-board, who got out there and encouraged people to test. Credit is also due to Jason WX2Q who drove across Jersey (the long way) to give the exam.

Keep your eye our member’s callsigns. After this exam I think we may see a few people get four digit fever!

A successful test take gives a thumbs up with the President behind him

Thanks everyone!
