Ham radio 'cruise-night' in Virginia

Many of you are familiar with cruise-in events at restaurants, drive-ins, shopping centers or other venues. That’s where participants bring their cars, trucks and motorcycles to display and compete for awards.

Ham radio operators are also proud of the time and effort invested in transportable stations and one radio club feels its time for them to show off as well.

The Albemarle Amateur Radio Club in Central Virginia will
sponsor the first Virginia Ham Radio Cruise-In from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m Eastern time on Saturday, May 1st, 2010.

And like automotive buffs, this will be a chance for hams to meet, greet and show off their mobile and portable gear.
