The Club participated in the World Amateur Radio Day open house in mid-April. York Radio Club visited the Elmhurst Public Library, which provided lobby and meeting room spaces.

Our goal was to show the community and connect with members of the public who may have never encountered amateur radio before.

Nineteen of our Club members joined to help support and participate in an effort to help us all to keep on hamming!
