Say Kids, What Time Is It?

It’s Freeze Your Acorns Off!!

Yup, FYAO is just around the corner. February 15 is coming soon. So you plucky HAMs who don’t mind frozen fingers and toes, get you portable stations ready to be set up in the snow and have some fun. It’s our 20th Anniversary of this event and, as of right now, it appears it will be a cold one. So bundle up and come on out to Fred Fuller Park in Kent and have some BIG FUN working your QRP rigs.

More to follow in the coming weeks. https://www.portcars.org/wp/activities/freeze-your-acorns-off/
