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 great sadness that we report that longtime local amateur radio operator, elmer, and McARCS member, Jim Cline, W6JRC, passed away in December 2025. Jim had been very active in the local ham radio scene for decades and had been involved with McARCS as both a member and officer since the beginning. He was often a great source of advice and information and was always willing to help out. In addition to that, he was active in Search and Rescue for many years. His wisdom and friendliness will be greatly missed.

The McARCS officers and members extend our condolences to Jim's family.
