San Antonio Hams

The following 155 photos were taken and provided by Gary K5GST. Some were taken on Day 1 (Saturday 10/31) and others were taken on Day 2 (Sunday 11/01).

Video was taken by Lee N5NTG on Saturday, from the vantage point of 1st Crossing and 2nd Crossing, with some footage from the TT Turn-around near the end of the day.
