[K3CAL] STEM Expo

On Saturday, February 24th, Shawn- N3AE, Les- KH6CUJ, and Andy- KC3WRX set
up at the annual Calvert High School Science Technology Engineering and
Mathematics(STEM)Expo in the hope of introducing our younger folks to
Amateur Radio. Along with displays of antennas, CW keyer, QSO cards, a video
presentation, digital modes, QST Magazine, and radio equipment, CARA
provided opportunities for them to make their first contact on HF and,
thanks to all our members who were monitoring the repeaters, VHF/UHF. Once
any nervousness passed, those who "got on the air" seemed to enjoy it. Using
the club callsign, we got lucky and were able to DX with France, Spain, and
Slovenia during the event. We answered a lot of questions from all ages so
hopefully we sparked some interest that will be pursued. It was a great
afternoon and we're looking forward to next year.
