[Linux-ham] Recent RARS hamfest

[James Jones]

Thanks Scott.

One of my brothers owns a precision machining company in Virginia. He has
more than one CNC machine.  I helped him get the company going in the mid
60's., so he owes me at least a cnc created name tag.

Thanks for the thoughts. A copper clad pc board, a fine point resist pen
could create a novel name tag as well.

Even 3d printers could make fantastic ID badge.

Main idea behind my nametag was CHEAP.
