Congratulations to members of the Emergency Radio Club of Hawaii who participated in the 10th Annual Geek Fest on Oahu over the weekend. Here’s the text of Darren’s message:
“Amateur Radio at the 10th Annual Geek Meet at Magic Island”
“The EARCH HI Club and the Pacific PIO manned a booth for the Geek Meet. Thanks to all the Hams who visited, helped, (and) supported us throughout the day. We have over 300 visitors to our booth and signed several up for possible attendance for classes. Long and Hot day but we survived and had a lot of fun. Now for rest! Happy 4th of July to all.” Thanks to Darren for this update. Another great example of positive outreach to the public.
