Several of our members went to last Saturdays Findley Hamfest.  We hope to have a report about it.

TNG-Fest – when do we want to have our next one?

 

As always you can work on your projects, radios or just chat with friends.  There are a lot of different groups all doing their thing with different radios.  Come see what’s happening.  Just good talk amongst friends.

 

Even though mask are not required feel free to wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.  There will be some wearing mask so you will not be the only one.
