Feedback was very positive. We hope you enjoyed the workshop. We'd like to thank the presenters as well as all attendees, many of whom drove a great distance. We are a ham radio club focused on the technical aspects of ham radio. We hope this workshop will be the first of many great workshops we provide.

A special thanks to the following club members who helped with organizing, marketing (design and implementation), refreshments, registration, set up, clean up, printing, presentations, and other tasks. Thank you very much.
