For Family level and above please list any additional family members to be included in the membership along with callsign, phone, email, license class and ARRL status to be used for each.  (Please bring cash in an envelope with your information on it or in it).  Please be sure to review the ‘hold harmless’ agreement for EACH adult member listed on the application and have each adult member or guardian sign the form on the lines provided.
