Not really but it sounds good. My Virginia Fone Net friend Mark Horner (KX4ZG) started his own Laurel VE Team Westmoreland Amateur Radio Club VE Team and asked me to come up to train the new members. I was blown away by Mark and his wife’s hospitality. He had his first exam session and one of the applicants came away with Extra. Be sure to send your friends in the area to that club.

Berryville Hamfest
The Berryville Hamfest came the next day after the exam session. I didn’t buy anything but met a great many friends and even shook hands with Marv Hoffman (WA4NC). He is currently the NC section manager but is running for the Roanoke Division Director and would appreciate ARRL members support. We need more volunteers and I applaud anyone that steps up and run for office.
I took some video I hope to post on the website.
