ARC sponsors first Newbies On The Air (NOTA) Day-August 2011
Jeremy Kolonay, KF7IJZ, suggested that ARC sponsor an open event that would help get new hams comfortable with operating amateur equipment on the air. On a beautiful sunny day in Ben Brenman Park, eleven individuals turned out to explore what ham radio can offer. All had a great time, and many suggested that we continue to offer these type of “mini-field day” sessions throughout the year.
