24/25 March Lewiston Maine State ARRL Convention & Hamfest

The York County Amateur Radio Club (We!) had a table at the Maine State Convention and Hamfest in Lewiston on Friday and Saturday. It was fun and there were many club members there. We were set up next to the Wireless Society of Southern Maine which contributed to the camaraderie and entertainment. We made many purchases to upgrade our ham shacks, some were simple and inexpensive, while others were major high end purchases which demonstrated a serious commitment to the future of our hobby. Then there were those of us who picked up obscure items at a low price simply for the sake of experimentation. In summary, it was a fun event followed by a group of us who went to lunch at a local restaurant and had the opportunity to share stories about our personal lives outside of ham radio. Thank you all who participated. I hope you had as much fun as I did. Rick, KB1ASM, Club President

October 24/25 - Alfred Shaker Museum Apple Festival Special Event Station

The Alfred Shaker Museum Apple Festival was a great success for our first attempt.  Friends of the Alfred Shaker Museum were our gracious hosts providing an ideal spot on the festival grounds.  Contacts were sparce due to a compromised installation and band conditions.  Many thanks to Rick, KB1ASM, for organizing the event.  Shout-outs of appreciation to Dave, AA1LO, and Jim, KC1ETT for help setting-up the station. Frank, W1FRA, and Bruce, KC1RJU, helped "break camp on Sunday.  Twelve visitors signed the guest log wanting more information about ham radio and to be added to the mailing list.  Thanks also to Paul, KY1C, and Brad, KC1JMH , for visiting.  See EVENT PHOTOS


September 11 - Congratulations to our newly elected club officers
