Loomis Hamfest Saturday, March 18, 2023

First and foremost, a big thank you to all who volunteered to help make Hamfest 2023 a HUGE success. Thanks to some help from Mother Nature and the many of you who came to attend and be part of the day’s events — it was one of the BEST turnouts in club history!

A big thank you to Orion (AI6JB) for his hard work organizing the event. Also an honorable mention and big thanks to Jeff (KM6RGO), Brian (AI6US), and Aaron (W1ATB) for some generous donations of prizes as well. There were MANY others that made the event a HUGE success (too many to mention) — hopefully, you know who you are.
