Hams In The Snow

In case you missed it in this week’s “Watts Up At SFARC”

To All Hams (hoping to get) In The Hills,

This Saturday we’re going to do a impromptu snow run for anyone interested. We will meet at Mar-Val’s grocery in Georgetown, Saturday (February 4) at 0800. We will head east on Wentworth Springs Road and see how far Paul (W2OHV) can go and how many of us need to be pulled out.

Bring lunch and a camp chair.

A recovery point on your vehicle would be good but you can count your receiver hitch as a recovery point. Be able to remove the ball from your hitch, if needed.
