AF4K's ARRL (& other) HAMFEST INFORMATION


The three best sources for hamfest information on the web

These are so good that I don't think I will bother maintaining a list here any more! HOWEVER, they quite often don't list the SMALLER hamfests which are some of the best I have been to. Let me know if you want me to list them here, and DO tell the first two places to ADD your hamfest listings and any that you know about that are not on their list!

Be warned: ARRL no longer answers mail and e-mail inquiries from non-members!!

Other information is acquired from mailing lists and newsgroups - caveat emptor!
