Congrats!
« on: March 23, 2022, 05:03:29 PM »

From the ARRL Club News:

On February 23rd, 2022, at the Virginia Fire and Rescue Conference, the Chesapeake Amateur Radio Service (CARS) club received the Civilian Excellence in Virginia Fire Service Support award. The club was nominated for the award by Fire Chief Ed Elliott. In his nomination letter, the Chief said, "I cannot nominate a more deserving group of people than our Chesapeake Amateur Radio Service team for this award. While their members are not affiliated with the fire service, the critical service they provide greatly enhances the capability of both the fire and police departments should normal communication systems be disabled due to a severe weather event." Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin also recognized the CARS radio amateurs in his by stating in his press release, "They are a group of highly skilled, community-minded volunteers working diligently to help protect the citizens of Virginia from the devastating effects of environmental disasters."

Well deserved recognition! A job well done. Thanks for your representation of the spirit and purpose of Amateur Radio.
