FRRL Outreach at the Batavia Farmers Market July 26
FRRL participated at the Batavia Farmers Market today, the first event in the club's new outreach effort.
Working with me were Kermit W9XA, Jeff N9JZN, Dan WA9YKK and Jim N9XP. Kermit was kind enough to bring his mobile shack. Jeff N9JZN and I brought a screen tent with a simple HF station that operated W9O and provided demonstrations to visitors. We talked to several potential new hams and other visitors who found our display quite interesting. The morning was fun, gratifying, and definitely worth the effort. These photos include one of Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke with me when he stopped to visit our booth; Kermit, Jeff and Dan operating during the morning; a shot of the tent in full swing, with several visitors in attendance. - Dawn, KC9LQS | Photos by Dawn, KC9LQS |

Today's Hamfest also marked the opening day of our special event station W9O operating at the Hamfest. It will be operating for the next two weeks. Pictured at the top center are David, KD9BRU and Eric, KA7YHA operating the W9O HF station.
