Successful Annual K8AZ Open House & NCC Meeting

Greetings NCC contesters!

The 33rd annual K8AZ Open House took place on

The Dave Kalter Memorial Youth DX Adventure is proud to announce a 2023 Special Event as W3Y on July 29, 2023. The K3LR Contest Group is hosting us at their station for this event.
