Jan 16, 2021 VE Testing Session
Monday, September 7, 2020
Just hanging in there
Just a quick for those watching this blog.
Nothing new, no meetings still for NEMRA as of now, and the FCC is going to start charging for test and renewals.
Keep the faith and maybe we will get back to normal before to long.
73 for now. If I can help any of you please feel free to call or email me

Jackson HamFest
From the Jackson Amateur Radio Club in Jackson, MS.
——————————————
During a telephone conference call on August 4, 2020, the board of directors of the Jackson Amateur Radio Club voted unanimously to cancel the Capital City Hamfest for the year 2021.
This action was taken due to the many uncertainties caused by the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
The next Capital City Hamfest is now scheduled for January 28-29 2022. As of this writing, the location for the 2022 event will be the new Mississippi Trade Mart.

Special Thanks to Tommy KE5BSB and Chuck N5VGK for helping make this test session a success.
