More SLAMS activities in 2023

Looking at this blog might make you think that the SLAMS group is only about contesting. No no, that would be very far off the truth! We do many other ham-radio related things and there even are contests that we attend but not inform everybody about it by posting it here! For example (limited to a part of this year):

  • SLAMS visited meetings of 4 local radio clubs and provided presentations about microwaves
  • SLAMS attended the Washington Hamfest (at the time of CQ WW VHF Contest)
  • SLAMS attended the 3-day CSVHF Conference in Arkansas
  • SLAMS attended the Macoupin Hamfest (at the time of the ARRL UHF Contest)
  • SLAMS attended the St. Charles Hamfest
  • SLAMS attended several MAD Days (Microwave Activity Days, 1st Saturday of the month)
Several pictures from these activities can be found below. Note that we did not take the pictures for publishing on this blog, so they often do not show much detail:
