Montana's Ham Radio Forum

I almost forgot to remind you of the “ArgusFest”. On Saturday February 27th in Stevensville, Montana! One of the largest swap meets in Western Montana, you can eat breakfast with Hams from all over the state, buy, sell, take a ham radio test, or just enjoy the comradery .
Contact Argus Barker W8QMD..

The next swap meet that I am aware of is in Great Falls is April 16th.
The 2nd Annual “Spring Thaw” is held at the Cascade County DES office on the Westside. Contact Rod Jackson AE7JJ.

Then on the Third Weekend in July is the 82nd annual Glacier Waterton Hamfest near Essex Montana! It’s also the Montana State ARRL convention with seminars, crafts, and over three days of tailgating!!

I will be making the rounds in March and April. If you have any ARRL issues you can always contact me at aa7gs@arrl.net. See you soon!

GM Bruce,

Thanks for that correction and I will post your update on face book Montana Ham Radio where I posted the original Section Managers Notes. If I am not on wild land fire I will try to make it to your gathering.

Thanks again Bill K7MT
