[Linux-ham] Recent RARS hamfest

[Scott G. Hall]

You can also employ a DIY CNC machine to make one. Some of the guys at
Splat*Space have built CNC machines that they use to carve off copper coating to
make PC boards, and to carve into 2-color styrene panels to make signs and
badges. You can then use any font you like and embellish however you want.
Something like a ShopBot might be a bit big and too costly to rent time on (like
the one over at Raleigh Makerspace).
