The members of the Eastside Amateur Radio Service would like to thank everyone who attended our event. By coming out and participating you helped make this years hamfest a success. The hams in the picture worked very hard at the event and for several months prior planning. Big shout out to the team from the Eastside Amateur Radio Service for putting together the event.
JT came to the hamfest on Saturday with his dad Wes K5LUL. We are delighted he won the grand prize. JT is almost 12, a Boy Scout and studying for his tech. Along with his dad JT got the radio on the air Sunday afternoon. He is very happy he won and is even more motivated to get licensed. We hope to hear JT checking into one of our weekly nets very soon!
We have been made aware that there is going to be some road construction in the immediate vicinity of the event. We are monitoring the situation. The talkin repeater is 145.310 -PL 167.9 -.60. Our staff will be relaying updates and offering alternate routes to bypass the construction.
