BARC (Barnstable Amateur Radio Club) and FARA members attended the Maker's Fair held at Mashpee High School on March 25 to provide demonstrations of amateur radio to Fair attendees.
Two ARES GO Kits were brought in for display by Henry, K1WCC and Jon, N1ILZ. Jon’s portable antenna mounted on a commercial speaker stand was used to make contacts. The antenna is one of Frank O'Laughlin's, WQ1O, many creations. Visitors to the Fair were able to try the radios and make contacts with club members via the local repeaters.
Thanks to everyone who supported this event.
