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)

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.
