146.970 The Friendliest Repeater In Town
Saturday July 20 is the day we help celebrate Makers Faire in Kingsport. Not only is it good for Kingsport but it is good for us. Our club has more exposure to the public than any other time of the year. With a couple of tables and radios outside and a room with radios inside, we have seen public interest in our club grow. For information on how you can be part of this exciting event, call Carl Hacker, WC5M, at 713.306.0809.
