Ham radio club welcomes young member

The Shelby County Amateur Radio Club (SCARC) recently welcomed its
youngest member, 9-year-old Helena Staggs KN4HDO

She was was welcomed to the group after passing a licensing
examination on Oct. 21 at the Helena Hamfest, which is a swap meet for
amateur radio operators that’s sponsored by the SCARC.

Helena passed her Technician exam and only missed passing her General
exam by one mark, she is studying to retake the General.

“Youth entering the amateur radio community ensures that emergency
communications will continue to stay alive as new operators learn and
train for situations like destruction of communication infrastructure
caused by tornados and hurricanes,” Jason Bentley KE4FRI said.

“When all other modes of communications are down, amateur radio
operators can setup and operate from remote locations in diverse
conditions on battery power, solar or generator in matter of minutes
and start passing vital information to agencies and first responders.”
