Holding off on ordering End Fed Antenna & matching kit until we have a better idea what geography we’ll have when rooftop construction is complete.
Facebook is traffic low, but that’s OK. Currently about 73 ‘followers’ with frequent submissions from Roberto (WA9E). We did not publicize the Technician Class on the SARC page because it was apparent that we would get full registration from the Daily Herald article & calendar listing. We will publish the General Class.
