Radio Rodeo 2022
April 9, 2022 @Brownwood Comments from our Club President and Radio Rodeo Chair George/K2DM: WOW! What a fantastic day at Brownwood for TVARC! Too many club members to count participated in this reincarnation of what used to be an annual event before COVID-19 forced us to apply the brakes. It was as though we rebounded today. A number of members showed up before dawn to unload tables, radios, antennas and other equipment. Others helped set up the tables and radios. Over the course of the morning we had some 40 club members demonstrating radios, explaining amateur radio, and reminiscing with visiting hams. After about 4.5 hours, the wind became strong enough to knock over some of the displays in the farmers’ market, so we packed up and headed home.
We will have a retrospective on Radio Radio during the April TVARC club meeting. For now, congratulations and thank you [all] for putting on a wonderful event. 73, George K2DM TVARC President |
