Sacramento ARES showcased the benefits of amateur radio at the Lions Club Emergency Preparedness & Environmental Awareness Fair.

Visitors and attendees were invited to make a contact over the air at our demonstration stations while learning about ARRL, amateur radio, and the ARES program.

Rick – K6HNT, Carlos – KO6AQE, and Jay – N6SAC represented ARES and ARRL in person at the fair. Remote stations Ed – K6ESS, Dave – KK6MVJ, and Dana – K6AXS were the friendly voices on the other end of the repeater. We invited every guest to key up the mic and call CQ, and everyone who did, from the young to the old, had a smile wide across their face.
