The Yavapai Amateur Radio Club hosted a successful amateur radio examination session today. Of thirteen candidates, eleven passed exams.

One family left with the mother and 13-year-old son earning their technician license and dad emerging with a general license. They also had one person pass the examination for an extra license.

Congratulations to you all. To those who did not pass we urge you to try again. Check the Yavapai Amateur Radio Club site for classes and future exam schedules.

Remember you do not have to be in Yavapai to take the amateur radio exams given by Yavapai. You can participate in any exam session given any where by an authorized group. Information on exams in Coconino county can be found at the CARC web site. Hanmfests also hosts licensing exams.

I’m still waiting to hear the results of the CARC exam held today.
