[ML-Hams] [Makers] [Ham Radio] ARRL Field Day 2017 - June 24-25

[Jeff Cotten]

I just realized we've put the Pig Roast on the same day as field day.  This
could be a great opportunity to do two events at once, getting people
exposed to multiple types of ham :)

Doing both of these things at the same time would make for the most amazing
flier ever :)
