[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] ARC at D-Day commemoration - Sunday June 1st

[Jan A. Maas]

Thanks, Gary.

Just to add: the event organizers will provide our table. I'll bring club handouts.

Set-up time begins at Noon, and the formal part of the day happens at 2.

It's a terrific way to meet people and to show off ham radio.
