Four local HAMs passed test

On June 22 four local citizens passed their Amateur Radio operating license tests: Stewart Feil, Pat Conrad, Ron Seaberg and Lynette Wright. They are eagerly awaiting their callsigns from the Federal Communication Commission so they can begin operating. All four are interested in helping with emergency communications.

Dave Basham, AE7RD conducted the six-week preparation class with assistance from Charles Boling AD7UF and Ron Wright W7ERY. Three seasoned amateurs from Cowlitz County ARC came over to Wahkiakum High School to help administer the test.
