Bob Phinney, K5TEC

Bob Phinney, K5TEC, who chairs the Youth Activities Committee at HamXposition, was prominently featured on the popular QSO Today podcast on June 22, 2024.

“Bob Phinney, K5TEC, created a new and dynamic after-school science and amateur radio program called New England Sci-Tech, Inc, after his private school, where Bob taught for many years, closed his program from their lack of vision.  K5TEC refocused his energies and built an amazing after school program, and home school resource,  for kids that re-enforces STEM learning, through the study of amateur radio, computers, electronics, and astronomy to make new and exciting amateur radio operators.  Bob, K5TEC, shares the story and the ingredients that make his program a success.”

Just a quick reminder, tickets are limited at the Thursday comedy kickoff event. Sales will stop once we have sold 250 tickets. Thus far, only people on our ham radio mailing lists have received notice of these tickets being available online. However, later this week we will begin an ad campaign to the general public in the Marlborough area. We expect tickets will sell briskly once this is done.
