The Radio Flyer E-News

The Marshall Swap went great!  It was well attended and we got a chance to
eyeball some of our South Eastern members and chat about coming events.
Member Dave Clark,W8DO was also at our club tables,he is the ARRL DXCC field
checker. We saw at least 23 members at the swap but getting them all to the
club tables at 10:00 AM was not easy with the many goodies that this swap
offers! We also hope to do the Holland - ARRL- swap this year...more later.
