Regional Hamfests

It's hard to beat everything that comes together making for a great Amateur Radio Hamfest!  It's part social event, flea market, and sometimes vendor fair. Quite often there's also opportunities for training/education and testing sessions. If you want some company, there's almost always club members carpooling to the hamfests.
