MVARA is celebrating its first year of ham radio testing!
There has been 50+ exams given in the last year and multiple examinees have come back to take more than one element with us! Two have been able to pass all three of the elements using our exam sessions and we feel honored to have them choose MVARA to help them achieve their goals. It goes without mentioning that all of this could not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the MVARA Volunteer Examiners and the great coaching that we have received from the folks at GLAARG! Here's to hopefully another successful year of helping hams get into the hobby and getting on the air!!!
