Ham Radio in The Park was a success. We had 8 or 9 people come out. The 20 meter antenna got raised and tested. We had two hf stations set up. One on phone and one on digital. The software and networking hardware were tested for contact logging. We had the first station on the air making contacts within 45 minutes of starting with the antenna. No one knew that Billy had started at timer or we could have done it in 30 minutes.
George W. Bush Library and Museum has free admission from April 20 thru 27th. See georgewbushlibrary.smu.edu for more info.
