License Testing Report

Amateur Radio license testing was held again at the public library in Valdosta on Saturday November 12th. The preregistered folks where not able to make it to this testing session for personal reasons but they are still planning on testing at a later date. There was one walk in who tested for general and passed with flying colors. Congratulations on passing general and we hope to hear you on HF soon!

We would like to take time here to appreciate our testing volunteers Larry Leonard, Gene Milton, Jim Freeman, and Frank Thompson for the giving of their personal time to help those who want to become amateurs or to advance the ranks. Thanks guys for the super job you are doing!

Remember the next testing session will January 14th at the Valdosta public library. Please contact us if you plan to attend the session.
