Rick NI6AU’s 60’ portable antenna will be on display and help to enhance and facilitate our radio range for making contacts across the U.S. and Canada.

Please join us at our June 14th meeting as we will be finalizing plans and taking care of last minute details. Your thoughts and ideas are most welcome.

Volunteers are still being sought for radio operators, organizers, set up and tear down and general assistance as needed at all skill levels.
