On August 12 and 13, the Pottstown Area Amateur Radio Club operated and did demos of amateur radio for the public. This was our third year at the fair. Thanks go to Wes N3HWH who got the club involved back in 2014. It is a wonderful opportunity to show off to the public what amateur radio has to offer to individuals and to their communities. (more…)
