Episode 171: Ham Radio at the State Fair​

"We should set up a ham radio demonstration at the State Fair!"

Or the County Fair, or other big event that'll draw thousands of people.

Ever hear that comment at your radio club? How far did you get? Maybe next year?

Well, here's a group who made it happen (and this is the second year in a row). The Road Show Amateur Radio Club in western North Carolina led a group of area ham clubs in putting together a big demonstration tent and Special Event Station (N4F), and staffing it for the 10-day run of the Mountain State Fair (the fair for the western side of the state).

This is a typical HamRadioNow in-depth look at how they did it, what worked, and what didn't, with an eye toward encouraging other clubs to take on (or run away screaming from) a major operation like this. (So Bert is going to complain that we should edit it more... but we won't. It's all good.)
