October's gathering was shifted one week to allow 4SQRP'ers to attend the Grandview hamfest. Lots of home constructed stuff was brought for show and tell today.
As a special event, James ACØBN bought a car load of home built robots to show the group. This was an outstanding demonstration of technical construction enjoyed by all.
An enclosure kit door prize donated by Phil Anderson, WØXI from Alden McDuffie company was won by Tommy, WD5AGO. Thanks Phil!
