SMRC Associate Membership

Associate Memberships are the Short Mountain Repeater Club's membership level for those who do not have a license and can't participate in an Active (Full) membership. The Associate membership is especially useful to those who are working on your Technician's license or Web users that want to access the training for the Technician's class exam. Associate members can access training information that not only helps them pass the written exam but can also helps them understand the basics of radio practice new Hams might be interested in, what frequencies they can operate on and where to find other hams to communicate with. Access to the licensing forums is also included which helps you get answers to the questions you have about getting your license. They can also learn some basics about how to serve their communities with their new skills.

Associate Membership costs only $10 per year but cannot be elected office and have no voting privileges at the general monthly meetings or any special SMRC meetings in which they are personally in attendance. The Associate member does however have a voice on the floor as to offering feedback, ideas, opinions, or comments on Club projects and events and may elect to serve on commitees if appointed.

As an Associate member, once you recieve your Amateur Radio Operators License your membership will be upgraded to a Full Membership status for the remainder of your current membership at no additional charge.
