[HCRA] Tech Class & VE Session Recap

[kx1x at arrl.net]

The very successful VE session last night at the Moose Family Center in Chicopee netted 10 new technicians  (9 new hams and an upgrade from Novice).  The 10 successful candidates represent a 100% pass rate for the technician class that was held on Tuesdays at the Moose.

Of note, congratulations to (proud dad Ki1i's son) Mike Beauregard and (grandson of Glenn, KC7LW) Josh Avery.
They, along with Jim Machia (Jr.), Chris Fotopoulos, and Jake McCurdy are all anxious to join Crew DX as licensed ham operators.  Crew DX and NE1C will start to be active very soon!!!

Other successful candidates include (wife of Ed, KB1NWH) Sue Lacombe, (upgrade from Novice, KA1SFK) Duane Rinaldi, Jim Machia (Sr.), Basil Maurice, and Bob Larkin.


Many thanks to all the VEs that attended and helped out!!!

Please welcome these (and all) new hams on the air when you hear the new callsigns.
