LARC Hamfest November 4th

By every measure, the LARC Hamfest was a great success.

Let’s start with Daniel Garlans, a new Tech, seen here congratulated by George KI4NBE. Nice job Dan! I am sure you will put all that technical knowledge to good use in your new hobby.

The man with the winning ticket to our Hamfest drawing was Angel. Congratulations Angel. Hope to see yo at the next meeting.

Many hams participated in the tailgate. Lots of new faces from other clubs were present, and this is a good thing.
