Thank you to 3 members

3 of our members showed up bright and early at the Mt. Hope site to clear out the old shelter, they did a fantastic job! Thank you to ED WB6NCO, Peter N3PH and Dave KB3RAN for their hard work. We will be trying to sell the fruits of their labor at the St. Mary’s hamfest this weekend and the Columbia Amateur Radio Association hamfest next weekend.
