Inspiring Leadership in the Ham Radio Satellite Community!

I spent some time with Bob Ehresman, KV4PC, at the Huntsville Hamfest and he told me about several initiatives that Dr. Wayne McCain of Athens State University was promoting in the amateur radio satellite space. Dr. McCain's efforts, with the help of several ham radio related groups, are a great example of true leadership in advancing radio and STEAM education for the betterment of communities near and far, now and into the future. Bob mentioned many organizations during our chat. Please take a moment and look into each of these and see how they are supporting the future, and recognizing the past of our great hobby.
Thanks again to Bob for being a great host and being so generous with his time.

SO MANY ways to do ham radio. Thanks Bob organizing this. Hoping you, the trailer, and support team are back again next year for what turned out to be a very popular exhibit. Mark, Hamfest Chairman
