[SMCARA] Ideas for Upcoming "Make and Take" events wanted

[Daniel Metcalf]

We can plan that as well. We can set it up as a multi-station event with 4
tables. At the first table one can build a flashlight at the second table
installing new connectors such a pl-259 and/or N-type. Need ideas for
tables three and four. Thoughts? Total cost for the event to participate in
everything would be approx. $25 each

For the connector installation one could be a "Bring your own coax" so they
can learn how to install their own connectors. I would be willing to donate
some LL400 for those who don't yet have their own coax but would like to
learn. Part of the $25.00 would go towards purchasing connectors.

Thoughts?
