Hamquest display table

The Smith County Amateur Radio Club reserved two tables at the 10th Annual Hamquest in Wilson County.  We displayed pictures of past events and our new club Fox Hunt antennas and transmitter. 

July 19 Hamquest kids

After last year's Hamquest, our Smith County club kids asked about hosting a kids activity table. We  did, and it was popular.

Wayne's transmitter

july meeting fox hunt

Wayne Johnson's custom made Fox Hunt transmitter was popular.   He allowed Hamquest visitors to take pictures of the schematics to create their own transmitter.   Many visitors wanted to meet him.
