It's time to start getting ready for the GVARC 2026 hamfest. The Hamfest date is March 7, 2026. John Lynn (KL7CY) will once again chair the committee for this event. Watch your emails for info from John on committee meetings days and times. This will be our 3rd Hamfest, and each year it gets better and better. Please join in the fun and planning of the event. Lot's of volunteers are needed to pull this off.
As a side note, John would like 1 more person to Co-Chair the Hamfest Committee this year. This Co-Chair would be a Chair in training. This is the last year that John wants to lead the Hamfest. So, please consider jumping in to help out. If you would like to "Co-Chair", please contact myself or John.
Watch your emails and the GVARC website for more info.
Hope to see you at the meetings and the Hamfest
