JOIN US FOR INFORMATIVE EDUCATIONAL & ENTERTAINING MONTHLY ARACC MEETINGS

Don't miss the next ARACC Club get-together on Saturday, September 11, 2010. It begins at 2P.M. at Carrow's (Blackstone and Ashlan) in Fresno. Join us in viewing the 2000 DXpedition to Kingman Reef, a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean. Fifteen Amateur Radio Operators from five countries worked hard to put the island on the "radio map."

________________

Thanks to ARACC members Gerry and Judy McDougal for hosting the Club's annual picnic again this year. K6RCV was back at the BBQ this year, turning out hamburgers and hot dogs. Members and guests contributed to the feast with delicious dishes. The turnout set a new record for this event. Shane/W8GWP used his new dual band hand held yagi to "home in" on Heidi, The Hidden Fox. It turned out she was riding with Gerry/KI6JDG in his golf cart. The challenge this year was to track a moving target!

THE VALLEY ARRL VE TEAM

The team is pleased to welcome ten new Technician Level Amateur Radio Licensees and one paper upgrade to General Class at the testing session in April, 2007!

The team also is happy to announce seven new upgrades to General Class status as a result of ARACC classes in May and June, 2007.

Another two Technician Class Licenses were earned at the testing on July 7th, one on October 7th, and three on November 15, 2007, three General Class (one a paper upgrade) and two new Techs, on January 6, 2008.

On March 24, 2008, four brand new Technician Licenses were earned as a result of ARACC lessons.

On April 6, 2008, three people passed their Technician exams, three succeeded in passing their Extra Class test, and one earned a new General Class License.

At the July 6, 2008 testing session, two candidates became new Technician Class hams, and one successfully upgraded to General Class.

At the October 5, 2008 session, There were three proud upgrades to EXTRA CLASS.

At the January 4, 2009 session, There were five successful Technician Licenses, three Generals (with one taking both Technician and General), and one upgrade to EXTRA CLASS.

At the April 19th, 2009 testing, 7 new Technician licensees joined the ranks of Amateur Radio. There were 3 upgrades to General, and 1 moved up to Extra. But hard study paid off for another newcomer to Hamdom. He devoured all three elements to become an Extra Class in one session!

Then, on April 27, 2009, one student from this year's ARACC entry level study group successfully completed Element One to become a new Technician licensee.

At the July 5, 2009 examination, there were six new Technician Licensees and one candidate passed both Tech and General exams!

Congratulations to all those who passed their exams Sunday, October 4, 2009. The ham world has a new Extra and two Technician Licensees as the result of their effots. One new ham drove here all the way from Lake Arrowhead in Southern California.

We are very proud of these new Hams as they discover their "wings" in this exciting hobby and service we call Amateur Radio.

CONGRATULATIONS!
