Happy We survived Hamvention! But seriously, the t-shirt sale went amazing. We sold out…and very rapidly. Size medium was gone early on the first day! Everything else was sold out by the end of Saturday. Yes, you read that correctly…EVERYTHING. I am estimating at least 100 people wanted to buy a t-shirt after they were gone. It’s time to order more. Hamvention is all done and now it is time for Field Day!! It is coming up soon and we will be doing our normal place at BTFD Station 61. Our favorite people are set up and tear down helpers…especially…
