The Central Mississippi Amateur Radio Association will present a two day Technician licensing class on February 5th, and 6th, with follow up testing on February 9th. The classes will be held at the Rankin County EOC building, 601 Marquette Rd in Brandon. The Friday Class will begin at 6:00 PM and go to 9 PM, and the Saturday class will begin at 8:00 AM and continue until we finish. Please arrange to have with you a copy of The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual. You can buy the book from the ARRL, or you can pre register and I can order the book for you. The ARRL price is $24.95, I can order them for $20.00. You will need this book for the class. It would be preferable to read through the book before the class as this will be a fast paced class. If you would like me to order you book, contact me at 601-845-5592 or k5fv@cmsara.org
2010 MS Blues Marathon
The 2010 MS Blues Marathon and Half-Marathon was held on January 9. It was perhaps the coldest day of the year with the temperature hovering near 12 degrees F. at the start of the race. Volunteers from the Central Mississippi Amateur Radio Association and the Jackson Amateur Radio Club braved the element to provide communications for the race officials. Many thanks to these volunteers. The Central Mississippi Amateur Radio Association appreciates the help from the Jackson ARC.
