This morning, as president of the West Tennessee Amateur Radio Society representing you, the members, I attended the breakfast meeting of the Jackson Exchange Club for the presentation of the check by the Andrew Jackson Marathon for funds raised in this year's event. There was a total of $8,000 raised this year.
As has been the custom, WTARS has provided communication services for this very public event. This year, we used the new Emergency Communication Trailer, from which all Net Control functions were performed from our location at Union University.
As one of the support organizations, WTARS was presented a Certificate of Appreciation and asked to, once gain, participate in next year's Andrew Jackson Marathon event scheduled for April 18th, 2009.
The Andrew Jackson Marathon and the Jackson Exchange Club thanks all the Ham Radio operators that participated this year for their time and expertise.
