[SMCARA] Summer Camp Success

[Mike Hasel]

Hi All,

 

Just wanted to report in on what a success the demo was today, thanks to Cal
N3CAL and one of our newest hams Kaylee KB3WFA, we setup antennas, tested
voltages listened to various public service and weather broadcasts and then
made a call on 64 and with Cal's help and support started what have been
close to almost 1 1/2 hrs of QSO with the class. I ended up being the event
of the day which is why our times and frequencies got pushed up a bit, we
took a break and came back to have a listen on HF mainly to WWV and then
made contact with our star operator Kaylee, when asked who wanted to talk to
her on the radio I think every hand went up and some even wanted a second
turn, she handled all the calls like a pro and I know that I owe her a world
of thanks for making the demo a true success.

 

Again thank you to all who offered suggestions, equipment and were standing
by the radio this morning to support this event, I do very much appreciate
it and it only reaffirms why this is such a great hobby, it isn't the radios
but the people who make it GREAT
