On a cool but sunny Saturday morning, 44 amateur radio operators from throughout Southern Ohio gathered at the Liberty Park Harmony Lake shelter house in Hillsboro for the Highland Amateur Radio Association’s monthly Brunch Bunch get together. However, the gathering marked two special events. It was the club’s first “meet and greet” and celebrated the club receiving a national honor.
HARA President Pat Hagen, N8PAB, officially welcomed to the amateur radio community the newly licensed Highland County area amateurs. They were Chris Osborne, KE8RVJ, and David Wolfenbarger, KE8RVM, from Hillsboro; Joe Holdren, KE8RVL; and Rindy Matthews, KE8RVP, and Stella Wardlow, KE8RVQ, from Leesburg. Also introduced were Seth Hawthorn, KE8RVO, and Steven Frazier from Washington C.H.
