We completed another offering of our SPARC licensing preparation Tech Class this weekend.

We had 5 registered Tech Class participants - each received at least a Tech license. Mike WB8RDN (Exam Coordinator) will share more news about the overall Exam results.

A BIG thank you to our excellent Instructors, who helped SPARC add yet another “100% pass” result - thank you Gordon NQ4K, David KF4PBU, Eric KF5LR, Evan KM4SK, Larry W8ANT and Suzin N8SEM.

A big shoutout also to Evan KM4SK, our SPARC Outreach Coordinator, who tirelessly disseminated our Class/Exam info across online and print media.

See you at the Pizza Party on Wednesday!
