(l-r) Curt NØCRM and Mark WØMH
were at the Westgate Mall in Brainerd
during Non-Profit Day, otherwise known as Community Service Day on
Saturday, May 26th. They were joined by Jim WØIRE
and Paula WØHA where
the group had a
table setup, with the club banner, in the commons
area near Herbergers. The crew
answered questions and informed the public about Ham Radio and the
Brainerd Area Amateur Radio Club. The event ran from
9:30
AM to 6:00 PM. Many ARRL brochures,
the BAARC brochure, old QST Magazines, and a PowerPoint
presentation, showing BAARC 2006 activities, were shown. It was
interesting to note that many mall shoppers were from the Twin Cities
and other states. All in all, it was a fun day and good exposure
for the BAARC.
Curt NØCRM was first
introduced to the Ham Radio hobby at a similar showing at the East
Brainerd Mall some eight years ago. Since then, Curt has gotten
his son Steve KCØYTE interested and active in
Ham Radio. Who knows where it goes from there! |
