Mississippi Hams in Action!!!

The Central Mississippi Amateur Radio Association has an operation in the field each 3rd Saturday of the month to a location around Jackson. In August it was Dean’s Stand at mile 73.5 on the Natchez Trace. In the photo W5PID and W5PFR work the pile ups while KJ5ET looks on. (photo provided by W5PID)

Each month QST publishes a listing of Hams who have qualified for the Public Service Honor Roll (PSHR). The PSHR recognizes Hams who give a little extra each month by participating in public service events, emergency responses, on-the-air traffic handling, and helping the Section with various jobs though an appointment. In the photo Harrison County Emergency Coordinator WX5RJ (right) presents the PSHR Commendation Certificate to AE5MI (left), who qualified by making PSHR for a year.(photo provided by WX5RJ)
The Jackson ARC hosted the annual Capital City Hamfest on January 30-31 at the Trade Mart on the Fairgrounds in Jackson. Although it was below freezing outside there was plenty of hot action inside in the Flea Market. (photo provided by AC5Z)
On December 7 the MARC was hosted by the Collinsville Fire & Rescue department at the Collinsville Christmas Market festival where we operated radios under the MARC banner as special event station W5C. HF radios on a long wire off-center fed dipole antenna and a portable HF antenna made over 100 contacts during the festival. This was an effective demonstration of amateur radio in view of the several hundred people present at this event.

At the suggestion of Frank, K4FMH, the Jackson Amateur Radio Club applied for a $3,000 grant from the ARRL Foundation to purchase Ham Radio equipment to be used to establish a Ham Station at the Madison County Library. The grant was approved and the money was used to purchase an Icom IC-7300 Transceiver and two Yaesu FTM-300D digital transceivers and related equipment.
