Hamfests are what makes amateur radio continue to grow. Without you the ARRL affiliated club, you make the events possible. We hope that each hamfest in Kentucky was a successful event for your club and you are already making plans for next year, to make your event bigger and better. While you were at the hamfest, did you stop by the League booth and say hello to your SM, GL Director, Asst. GL Director or the KY SEC if they were present? What we strive for is putting a face with that voice/callsign.

Road in Harrisburg **Please note the NEW As many of you know, changing the location for the location! hamfest can create problems. In case you did not get the news, the new location is Gate 5 of Harrisburg Area HRAC OFFICERS Community College on Industrial Road, Harrisburg. The main problem will be letting people know how to PRESIDENT get to the new location. I have been sending flyers to Terry Snyder upcoming hamfests in the Atlantic region, and now I WB3BKN am now asking all of you who will be attending a (717) 896-0256 hamfest, to take our flyers along and hand them out to [email protected] attendees of the hamfest. VICE PRESIDENT Personally handing a flyer to an attendee will mean Nick Rylatt more than if they just grab one at the registration table. AA3T It offers the opportunity to further inform the person. (717) 957-4688 Also please forward our hamfest flyer to everyone on [email protected] your email list. I cannot stress how important it is to promote our hamfest. SECRETARY Tim Lehman This year we are also calling it an electronics expo.
