ROARS NEWS
GREAT NEWS! After a two year absence, the Yuma HamFest will return to the Yuma Fairgrounds on February 21 & 22, 2025.
ROARS Net, 17 July - Turnout was low likely because of the RNC VP speech. That said, it was another very practical net with radio failures, coverage limitation discoveries, and recovery from everything with folks stepping in as temporary net control, being relays, giving status updates, etc. A far better learning experience than just reading a script, and the members did it perfectly! Thanks to Tim, AJ6VB, for being Net Control in July, with one more net to go.
