For all the SPARC members that assisted on Saturday and Sunday at the Herndon Festival activities I would like to say Thank You! With out you it would have been a long boring weekend and we SPARC would not have been successful. Despite a couple of HT issues on Sunday morning and Zero (0) propagation on Saturday we did meet lots of perspective Hams and a few looking for a Ham Home!
Thank you again for all your help and I am sure Gordon will be posting pictures shortly!
