International Day
Johns Creek
Northeast /
Spruill Oaks Library
A mid-month madness activity and a public service opportunity
|
Come join a team of NFARLites who will present “The World of International Ham Radio” during International Day at the NE Spruill Oaks Library in Johns Creek on March 24th. We will set up a
mini field day station operating from the lobby of the Library beginning at 10AM and continuing throughout the afternoon.
Coincidentally, this is again the weekend of the CQ worldwide WPX SSB contest. The bands will be hopping with international stations, so we will have a great opportunity to introduce Ham radio to a host of youth and adults who will be visiting the library for this special event.
To sign up for this event contact Dave AK4CL at ak4cl@nfarl.org. |
