Alcona County's Youngest Hams

L to R: Brothers David Holthaus, KC8TXM age 11, and his brother Adam, KC8TXN age 9, recently passed the FCC amateur (Ham) radio exam to earn their Technician license. They were part of a six week license class of youth and adults taught by the Alcona County Amateur Radio Group. The brothers were sponsored by the Alcona County 4-H "Strong Family - Safe Children After School Program" and the Hubbard Lake South Shore Ladies Group. David and Adam are the sons of Werner & Heike Holthaus of Mikado and are now the youngest licensed amateur radio operators in Alcona County.

Russ Pickelman W8JIU-SK

Russ bequeathed to the Alcona County Emergency Management and the Alcona County Amateur Radio Group, several thousands of dollars of Ham radio gear and testing equipment. To Russ and Mrs. Elizabeth Pickleman, we express our appreciation. Equipment retained by the Group will go to support our youth activity program. Remaining equipment will be sold at auction on several Amateur radio-related sites with all proceeds deposited with the Alcona County Treasurer for exclusive support of the Group's equipment fund.

Bob donated all of the HF & VHF equipment as well as the antennae to the Alcona High School for student use.
