N4HCI manning ECARS Table.  Former 1970s vintage ECARS NCS, W4BUE, Rich, was manning the adjacent table for the K4AMG Amateur Memorial Radio Club.  His club is very active in teaching young students to be HAMS.  They even buy the first rig for those who get their license.  See them at www.k4amg.org.



KJ4IT, Jerry, left us with a QSL card, cleverly made so that the picture on the card was also the image in the monitor's screen.
