 Our next meeting is a "Radio Equipment Roundup".  It will be a show and tell as everyone brings in their favorite pieces of radio gear.  You should expect to see radio equipment both old and current vintage, kits, home brew and commercial. Each person will have a chance to present their gear and most will allow you to spin the knobs and press the buttons. This is a hands on type meeting where you will get to see a lot of great gear, some of which you might be interested in seeing and maybe borrowing.  So gather up your radio gear and come on out to our meeting. This will be a fun time.
