Volunteers are the backbone of the club that contribute in so many meaningful ways to the vision, activities, programs, and well-being of the Milwaukee Radio Amateurs’ Club. Though during Volunteer Recognition Month, November, we acknowledge these individuals who bring activity and vibrancy to the club, we’ve added an additional recognition, Member Of The Year to acknowledge a member who has contributed significantly to the well-being of the club.
Congratulations to Dean Berglund, KC9REN (2024)
