NFARL Members Present at School
Club members KR4MM, W3WL, KJ4AJY, and W4QO led a RadioDay at the Davis Academy in Dunwoody. About 80 students during 3 class periods heard all about CODES - not just Morse code but various secret codes used to convey messages throughout history. W3WL discussed the ENIGMA machine and KR4MM explained ASCII/computer codes. Students really jumped into Morse code and had a whole bunch of fun decoding words for W4QO. Teacher and club member Dave Moore, KU4MT, arranged the program for his school. WK4U and daughter showed up for moral support. Click here to see pictures of the RadioDay.
