Subject:   	TMRA OFFERS CODE TESTING -- FOR FUN

The Toledo Mobile Radio Association (TMRA) begins participating in a
pilot study of an ARRL field code proficiency testing program in June.
The first of the monthly sessions will be offered on June 9 at 8:30 AM.
The location for the testing will be Fire Station #2, 450 W Dussel
Dr., Maumee, OH 43537. Morse code testing will be offered from 5-40
wpm in steps of 5 wpm. There is no charge to participate. The pilot
program is essentially an extension of the long-standing Code
Proficiency program conducted over W1AW. It functions only in four
municipal areas in the ARRL Great Lakes Division of Kentucky, Michigan
and Ohio.

All area residents interested in demonstrating their ability to receive
Morse code are invited to join in the testing. Test participants do
not need to be Amateur Radio operators.

Successful candidates will demonstrate one minute of perfect copy of
the transmitted text at one or more test speeds. Persons who achieve
solid copy will receive a receipt that confirms their accomplishment.

For further information on Toledo Morse code testing runs, contact
Steve Stalker, KC8TVW (kc8tvw at arrl.net) or Bob Johnson, K3RC
(k3rc at arrl.net). Pre-registration, only, please. No walk-ins.
