WARC November 2012 General Meeting

Al Konschak WI3Z — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 02:33:24 GMT

November marks Warminster RC's annual visit by RICK LAMB / K3TL of Ham Radio Outlet. We are again very privileged to have Rick visit and demonstrate the latest amateur radio "toys" available on the market today. Rick answers your questions, and shares with you the behind the scenes scuttlebutt as to what is on the horizon from the big three manufacturers: Icom, Yaesu, and Kenwood, plus other smaller suppliers.

He always gives us honest advice on the pros and cons of any piece of gear they have for sale - which we all appreciate. Whether in-person, and over the phone Rick always freely shares his wisdom, and knowledge gained as a long time amateur radio enthusiast.

Rick announces his retirement early next year, though selfishly we hoped that he can put that off way in the future, as he is always a great asset for our club members, and has always been there for us down at HRO.
