It’s all about Go Kits! Bring in your radio comms and personal go kits to share with each other. We did this several years ago and we all learned a lot from each other. If you do not have either of these kits made up yet this will be a great place to learn. For those of you that usually join us with Zoom, how about attending in person and bring your go kits. That would be great! The more the merrier and more to learn.
