[Linux-ham] Recent RARS hamfest

[James Jones]

*Thanks for all that answered.*

Online ham nametags at first glance are 12 bucks. Don't know what the price
was at the HamFest ID tag booth. I decided I would make my own.

I designed a name tag base partially on what I saw at the Ham Fest and
printed it on greeting card stock. For 86 cents, Officemax laminated the
tag and Walmart provided a roll of double sided foam adhesive tape. I found
a clip for the nametag from a very old nametag. Cost of tape = 2.88.

For less than 4 dollars, I have a ham nametag that has my call sign, My
nickname and my picture as well.

I would attach pictures but don't think that is allowed on trilug.org.

Now to make one that has SKYWARN on it.

If anyone needs doublesided tape, I have nearly an entire roll of it. :-)

Later

jcj KK4VUS Now a SKYWARN weather spotter as well.
