J-Pole Field Day Fund Raiser

On May 27th the Kitbuilding and Troubleshooting Workshop held a special event for the benefit of the AARC 2018 Field Day effort.  13 club members inclusing event hosts Raven (KB3MUV) and Eric Berman (KC3GDV) built 2 meter J-Pole Antennas from Ladder Line.  3 others were unable to attend but purchased J-Pole kits from the club, another was unable to attend due to illness.

$5 of each donation paid for the J-Pole kit, with the other $20 being a tax deductable donation to the club.  The end result was that 17 members took part in the program, most have new J-Pole antennas to show for it, and the club has raised  $340 to help defray the cost of Ladder Line purchased for Field Day 2018.  It's a total win-win for the AARC.
