 | 2008 Technician Class Graduation |
 Please join Mark, WB5NMZ and I, W4SPA, in congratulating the MARC Technician Class of 2008.
This year's class members are:
Ken Kohnke, KJ4CJP, Ken earned his technician ticket a couple of weeks before the class began. He attended in order to gain some additional practical knowledge. James Morris, KJ4ALV, James was previously licensed as a technician also, he attended to gain some practical knowledge and to support his wife Barbara. Barbara Morris, KJ4DHK, Barbara tested with CAVEC just before our class ended and as now a technician. Les Amidon, Callsign Pending, Les passed his element 2 examination and is waiting for his technician grant. Randy Crowder, KJ4DVS, Randy tested with the ARRL team in April and earned the technician ticket. He also passed element 3 last Thursday and is now a General class licensee pending license grant. Anida Wishnietsky, KJ4DVT, Anida also tested with the ARRL VE team in April and passed both elements 2 and 3 at the session. She's now a General class licensee. Michael Ford, Callsign Pending, Mike passed his element 2 examination and is waiting for his technician license grant. Stephens E. Wiggins, Callsign Pending, Steve passed his element 2 examination and is waiting for his technician license grant. Jerry Vogel, Callsign Pending, Jerry passed both elements 2 and 3 examinations and is waiting for his General class license grant. Robert Whatley, Callsign Pending, Robert passed his element 2 examination and is awaiting his license grant.
To say the class was a success is an understatement. The fact is everyone passed their element 2 examinations and 3 of them have earned their general class licenses.
So, congratulations again to the members of the MARC 2008 Technician Class!
Scott Poole, W4SPA

| You Might be a Ham Operator if… |
 - A friend remarks that you have a lot of CBs in your vehicle, and it turns into an hour-long rant on how ham radio is not CB.
- Your cell phone ring tone is a Morse code message of some kind.
- You have accidentally said your Amateur Radio call sign at the end of a telephone conversation.
- The local city council doesn't like you.
- You actually think towers look good.
- Your HF amplifier puts out more power than the local AM radio station.
- You refer to your children as your "harmonics".
- You have pictures of your radio equipment as wallpaper on your computer’s desktop.
- Every family vacation includes a stop at a Ham radio store.
- The first question you ask the new car dealer is: "What is the alternator’s current output"?
- You buy a brand new car based on the radio mounting locations and antenna mounting possibilities.
- You have tapped out Morse code on your car’s horn.
- You always park on the top floor of the parking deck, just in case you might have to wait in the car later.
- When house hunting, you look for the best room for a radio shack, scan the property for possible tower placement and check for CCRs.
- The real estate agent scratches his head when you ask if the soil conductivity is high, medium, or low.
- You have Ham radio magazines in the bathroom.
You have found yourself whistling "CQ" using Morse code.
- You really start to miss people that you've never met.
- You walk through the plumbing section at the hardware store and see antenna parts.
