Any member wishing to become a Ham Radio Operator is advised to check out the MMRA.ORG
Web Page. Minuteman Repeater Association web page for further information on taking the Ham
Radio Exam. You can also go on the ARRL.ORG for new license information. On the second
Wednesday of the month in the evening the MMRA has a very nice training session. This is a Zoom
meeting and there are experts on hand to answer any all radio and license questions you may have.
The Zoom training is free and open to anyone interested in Ham Radio. Check out mmra.org.
The “Auxiliary Net” held on Sunday Mornings at 1100 on the MMRA network is still going strong.
If you know any Auxiliarist that is a Ham, tell them to join us on the Net. The MMRA radio frequencies
can also be heard on your scanner radio at 146.67 or 147.715 MMRA system.
