The Framingham Amateur Radio Association has been officially renewed as a Special Service Club.
“Through the work of its members, [Framingham ARA] is recognized for its continued efforts on behalf of Amateur Radio and services to its community.” said ARRL Educational Activities Assistant Linda Mullally, KB1HSV in a March 22, 2004 letter to FARA’s Bob Hess, W1RH, EMA Affiliated Club Coordinator Frank Murphy, N1DHW, EMA Section Manager, K9HI, and New England Division Director, K1KI.
“Extraordinary clubs like FARA actively pursue all aspects of Amateur Radio: new ham development and training; public relations; emergency communications; school club support; technical advancement; and operating activities,” commented EMA Section Manager Phil Temples, K9HI.
