BARC Clubhouse Radio Room Training Session. - Cool; sixteen people attended this informative session conducted by Bill N3WD on Saturday, April 27, 2013. Both licensed hams and interested parties, new to ham radio, participated to learn propagation and the workings of the club radio room. All-in-all, a great event for BARC! Perhaps we can do a follow-on event.
