“How many TOTAL years do our 32 members have in their HAM radio licenses?” This necessitated a bit of research such as going to QRZ.com, calling each member to find out when they received their first license, or using your personal knowledge of that person. Guesses were collected and added to the ones received by e-mail. Guesses ranged from 550 – 1525 years. The official tally is 829 years, and Garry, K3EYK, came closest with 795 years. Research showed that Royal ,W3ZIF, has the longest running ticket with 53 years. Jim, K3MSH, has had his for 47 years and Dave, W3RY, since 1958, and Dave, W3SOX, since 1959. CARC certainly has a lot of experience in HAM radio. |
