We are fortunate that the Ham Radio community has members willing to help with multiple other non-profit or public service type events through out the year.
Here is a (not so) short list of the major 2013 events that hams from the San Antonio metro area can usually be found helping with. Contact links for future events are included, but contacts for past events aren’t included since it’s too late for this year. If you know of an event that ought to be on this list, please contact the webmaster by email.
