Hamfest Review

The 50th Elmira hamfest went well. A nice demonstration by Chemung County ARES/RACES.

The Bear Bait Radio Club hamfest was good as well.  Bear Bait RC has a nice location for their club meetings and club station!  

Event Review

The 200th Anniversay of the Erie Canal went very well!  A lot of stations activated and many QSOs were made.  A big thank you to Matt K2EAG, Angela N3ARB and Mike N2MAK for getting everyone motaviated!

I activated at Lock 51 in Jordan NY for both US-6532 the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor and US-8098 the Empire State Trail.  I was surprised by how many stations called considering these two parks have been activated often.

My ARRL email W2LC@arrl.org and W2LC@arrl.net have both been working!
