FYI – See the attached Springtown Hamfest Flyer regarding date and time details and the door prizes that will be given away during the Springtown Hamfest on Saturday October 19.

During the Springtown Hamfest, I will be conducting my “40^th Practical BaoFeng HT Radio Programming 101 Class” that teaches Hams how to manually program Baofeng HT radios using only the radio’s keypad (i.e., no computer, no cable and no Programming Software like CHIRP).? If you plan to participate in this class, bring your Baofeng HT radio with you to program it during the class.

?

I will also be presenting my “Modified Antenna” presentation at the Springtown Hamfest.? Using this modified (i.e., lengthened), inexpensive, very lightweight, portable homebrew Doublet Antenna for Winter Field Day 2022, I Scored the highest Score for the Outdoor, Single Operator, Off-Grid Powered, Phone only, Low Power (100W) Station Category for that contest and spent 85% of the 15.5 hours I Operated during that event working pileups calling my Station.
