From The Chairman
On behalf of our sponsors, The Orlando Amateur Radio Club and all the volunteers making HamCation the 5-Star event that is has become, we want to welcome you to HamCation at the Central Florida Fairgrounds and Expo Park.
HamCation® is the 2nd largest gathering of radio amateurs in the world annually.
HamCation will kick off on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, February 13-15, hosted at the Central Florida Fairgrounds and Expo Park in Orlando, an 87-acre lakefront fairground.
HamCation is sponsored by the Orlando Amateur Radio Club, an ARRL-affiliated club, and is supported by volunteers from radio clubs throughout the region.
Please visit the Forums and learn something new about Amateur Radio. These forums are planned to give you new ideas and let you walk away with the facts and motivation to become more involved.
Our website includes details on tickets and information about forums, exhibits (including information for vendors and tailgaters), testing, travel, and preferred hotels with special rates. Also do not forget to download the ARRL Events App to stay up to date on all the prize winners, fourms, vendors and lots of other important infomation
I would like to thank you for making the trip to Orlando. We hope you enjoy the show as there is much to see and do. Please thank all the volunteers for making this show happen. Do not forget to visit with old friends and make new friends from around the world and make plans to come back and visit with us next year.
