ALERT: Effective April 19th 2022, the FCC will be implementing a $35 application fee for new license applications. Upgrading an existing license to a higher class is exempt. The fee is in addition to the $15 test fee. Volunteer examiners (VEs) won't be collecting the application fee; you will need to make payment to the FCC directly. Click here for more information.
It is with sadness that we report that our friend and colleague, Peter Kools, NB6H, passed away recently. Peter had recently joined the amateur radio world but in a short period, worked his way up to an extra-class license, became active on the VHF and HF bands, became accredited as a volunteer examiner (with participation in 10 sessions in a year!), gave presentations at our last general license training class, and stepped up to be the secretary for McARCS. He was known for his warm personality and willingness to help.
The McARCS officers and members extend our condolences to Peter's family.
