Hello! I am Ben, callsign KE2IBK and I am raising funds to buy equipment for my amateur radio club at my school, the French American school of New York. I have people who would like to join but the club will not officially be started until next school year, in the mean time I am urging said people to study at least their tech licenses. I will also check with the ARRL once it is incorporated to get a club callsign. I also put on it that we will try to organize some educational experiences with both our school and other local schools/ our other campuses. All funds will go to one of the following:
