Greetings ALL !
Where in the world did May go (in a flood of memories - literally)! Time for yet another monthly MARC gathering. As always, we're keeping it simple, light, and fun!
We had a huge surprise this month-- Scott Yonally, N8SY, ARRL Great Lakes Division Director, was at our meeting to present a prestigious award to our own Mike Bryce (WB8VGE). Mike was selected as a valued contributor to the internationally circulated ARRL QST Magazine!
We are beyond proud of Mike for all he has done for amateur radio at MARC and around the world. Let's come together to share this honor with both Mike & Scott!
Don't miss the plethora of upcoming events in the next several months (list included in this edition of the FEEDBACK)! Volunteers are still welcome for ALL of the events. Sign-up during the meeting and enjoy the summer playing radio and serving our communities!
73,
Don

Are you considering becoming a Ham Operator?
Becoming a Ham Operator has several advantages, such as:
-
Emergency Communications: During natural disasters or emergencies, amateur radio operators can provide communication when traditional communication methods are down.
-
Technology: It is a great way to get hands-on experience with radio and communication technology.
-
Ham radio operators can join clubs or groups where they can meet like-minded people and participate in events and contests.
-
Personal Development: It also builds skills such as communication, problem-solving, and technical expertise.
Amateur Radio is an exciting hobby that continues to grow in popularity. It provides opportunities for personal growth, education, and building relationships with people all over the world.
Join the Massillon Amateur Radio Club on the first Friday of each month for our monthly get together! And for more information about our club visit our Facebook page or email:

MARC is recognized by the ARRL as a Special Service Club (SSC). You may be wondering, “What is an SSC, and how does this affect me?”
What is a Special Service Club?
A club that exists to go above and beyond for their communities and for Amateur Radio is what defines a Special Service Club (SSC). They are the leaders in their Amateur Radio communities who provide active training classes, publicity programs, and actively pursue technical projects and operating activities.
What about MARC?
As an ARRL Special Service Club, we have met our agreement to develop our skills in specified areas during the past two years in accordance with the guidelines in the ARRL SSC Active Club On-Line Primer.
We have worked closely with our Affiliated Club Coordinator throughout the year to develop these skills. We schedule regular, active training classes to help prospective hams study to pass their required FCC license testing. We have a recently improved publicity program to educate the community with regards to our function.
We have club members who actively pursue technical projects and operating activities. We sponsor and participate in important ARRL and hobby related events such as Field Day.
Bottom Line
How can MARC assist you in your ham radio journey? Let us know by sending us a note at:
