[VWS] Maker Fair - Silver Spring, this sunday Noon to 5PM

[Bill Fastenau]

I attended the recent Maker Faire in NYC, I agree and think a lot of you folks in VA would have a great time.  Two ham clubs had a display this year here in NY and were pretty busy with non-ham visitors that were interested in our technology as well.
