2018 2M QSO Party was a Blast!

Our 2018 2M QSO Party was a Ton O’ Fun!

Tom worked as W0SV, Club Call, from the clubhouse, and I worked as KE0EMB, Board Member, also from the clubhouse. And we had a prospective new member with us as well!  Although the Memorial Day weekend might have kept our participation a little low, we had plenty of contacts to make.

Stay tuned for the final results which we will publish shortly.

Thanks to all that participated!
