Red River Valley Amateur Radio Club
Amateur Radio in and around the Red River Valley Area of Northeast Texas
Some of the usual suspects got together yesterday to manufacture some home-brew gear for a 70cm Foxhunt. Many thanks to Johnny for prepping the materials and offering his time and workshop for the purpose.
Well done, guys!

More embarrassing photos tp follow … 😛
More evidence (LOL)
Johnny Thomas (WB5JT) was kind enough to host the group. He had prepared the “booms” (wood rods with holes drilled in them) and had already work-hardened almost all of the wire we used for the elements. Even with all of that advance work, it took us about four hours to get them built and tested.

Thank you Johnny!
