UPDATE: as of 7:30 Feb 8th, this event is a GO
Hagerstown has well over a century of aviation history, from shortly after the Wright Brothers first flight through today. The Hagerstown Aviation Museum (HAM) showcases that history, particularly the variety that Fairchild Aircraft produced in Hagerstown, when the company employed as many as ten thousand local staffers. This Saturday, February 8th, the Antietam Radio Association will present Ham at the HAM from 10am until 4pm. This includes both overview and demonstration of amateur radio and how it fits into aviation history, with the goal of installing a permanent amateur radio station at the museum. Bring your HT; coordination is on W3CWC 147.09 (+ offset 100Hz).
The Hagerstown Aviation Museum is located at 18450 Showalter Road, Bldg 8 in Hagerstown, MD 21742
