Topic: Prizes at NEAR-Fest III

[W1RC]

I am happy to announce that we have a new Prize Chairman!  I asked my friend John Goran, K1JJS,  to oversee the distribution of the door prizes and he did an outstanding job. 

The main prize was won by Frank Furman, WA1UIL of Chicopee, MA.  We thank ICOM AMERICA and Lentini Communications for helping us obtain this great radio.

Other winners include Jennifer Weiner, KB1GXK, of Monticello ME who won the R-390A Video donated by Floyd Soo, W8RO, Hi-RES Communications,  (value $110.00 and worth every penny).
