The Mich-A-Con Amateur Radio Club received the We Energies Reliability One Award last year. The award consisted of a $1500 contribution and was available to ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) groups in any community with 5,000 or more We Energies customers. The club was recommended for the award by Peter Schlitt, Dickinson County Emergency Services, for our service to the government and the community. The award will be used for repeater repairs and/or what ever is needed to keep the systems up and running. The club voted to make a separate bank account for the $1500 donation.
