2020 Club Photos
2020 was a unique year with COVID-19 Pandemic. It changed the way we meet, it changed the way events occurred if they occurred, and it made a very new and different normal.
W5YI Test Session went on a halt due to COVID-19 and many future hams and hams that wanting to upgrade were eager to do testing. Some areas in the country were doing virtual testing, but by the time this was starting the Whitley County W5YI, Testing Team was able to secure a location to have in-person testing while following CDC Regulations. The outreach was tremendous and here are the results:
