Silvercreek ARA receives SSC Certificate

On November 17th, I attended the Silvercreek ARA meeting, in Wadsworth. The special event that night was that the ARRL 8th region Director, Dale, WA8EFK was coming to speak. 

While there, he would be presenting the clubs Special Service Club Certificate. Pictured at right is Dale, (r) presenting the certificate to Zeke, AB8OU (r). 

The ARRL Ohio Section is one of the largest of the ARRL sections, with over 28,000 Amateur operators in our section, alone. Also, we have 108 ARRL affiliated clubs in the Ohio Section. Only 27 of them are Special Service clubs. 

Is your club thinking about becoming a Special Service Club? get in touch with myself, or your Section Manager, Scott, N8SY. We'll be happy to discuss it with you. 

I've found that most clubs already qualify for Special Service Club status. The only thing stopping them is the paperwork. The paperwork isn't complicated. in fact it can be done inside of an hour. 

So, if you'd like more information, I can be reached via e-mail at kd8mq1@gmail.comkd8mq1@gmail.com. Hope to talk to you soon! DE KD8MQ
