Ham Radio exists because of the service it can render. Having the capability to pass formatted messages is one of these services. In the photo traffic handler AE5MI receives her Official Relay Station certificate and badge from Harrison County EC WX5RJ. (photo provided by WX5RJ)

Are you tired of climbing towers and hanging off by a belt. Try this scissor lift up to about 50 feet. In the photo W5EZT and N5JGK are going up to straighten the reflector of a 20 meter beam that was whacked by a falling tree. (photo by W5XX)

A total of 690 CW, 970 SSB and 1777 Digital QSOs were made for a total of 3,437 from 160M to 70CM (Photo by W5UE's XYL Kathy)
Five hundred plus Hams descended on the Trademart in Jackson for the long awaited Capital City Hamfest. After last year's Hamfest had to be cancelled due to Covid, Hams were "Hamfest hungry." In the photo taken from the prize table, many Hams wandered through the flea market renewing old acquaintances and looking for that bargain of a life time. (photo provided by K5UZ)
