[ADXA] Its Me Again, Margaret!

[Dennis Schaefer]

I put something on the ARVARF and Faulkner County Facebook pages, and John
had a nice article about the conference in the ARVARF newsletter.  We
discussed it tonight at the meeting.  We stressed that the DXpedition
presentations are interesting regardless of your ham radio status.    I
noticed that my Facebook post had been shared at least once.

All we can do is all we can do.  You’ve done your part and we have tried to
push it locally.

Have we done any advertising in neighboring states?   If I lived in OK, MO,
or parts of TX, I’d consider making the trip for such a fantastic program.

73,
Dennis
