Mississippi Hams in Action!!!

On December 7 the MARC was hosted by the Collinsville Fire & Rescue department at the Collinsville Christmas Market festival where we operated radios under the MARC banner as special event station W5C. HF radios on a long wire off-center fed dipole antenna and a portable HF antenna made over 100 contacts during the festival. This was an effective demonstration of amateur radio in view of the several hundred people present at this event.

Each month QST publishes a listing of Hams who have qualified for the Public Service Honor Roll (PSHR). The PSHR recognizes Hams who give a little extra each month by participating in public service events, emergency responses, on-the-air traffic handling, and helping the Section with various jobs though an appointment.
