The Antietam Radio Association is bringing back the fall Tailgatefest this year, which is a great opportunity for members (and non-members alike) to find that niche piece of equipment they’ve been looking for, or to pass along their own equipment once it has served its purpose in their shack.
The event takes place at the Maugansville Bible Brethren Church in Maugansville, MD – just off of I-81.

If you are interested please contact Steven via email at ksf11@verizon.net.
