[Fourlanders] FW: GARS TechFest Reminder!

[Tom McElroy]

I'm in.

If I get some time off between now and then, I'll cook up a hands-on
resonance demo.   Something to let newcomers get a feel (literally)  for how
wire length and wavelength and frequency work together.

Robin Huckaby WB4GKI told me that he and his grandson had a blast one year.
They won a prize in the left-footed CW contest.
