Mississippi Hams in Action!!!

Without new Hams coming into our hobby we would go the way of the dinosaurs in a couple of decades. In Mississippi several clubs conduct classes and offer VE Test Sessions (see list on this website under the “VE Testing” tab). In the photo two applicants work through the Tech Exam at a Mississippi Coast ARA Test Session. (Photo provided by N5OCT)
