I have already been working on the 2025 Hamfest which will be Friday March 21st - 3PM to 8PM and Saturday
March 22nd - 8 AM to 2PM. I am getting interest from vendors and made some good contacts in Orlando earlier
this year. I have been talking to Diamond Antennas, Mastrant, ABR, Kenwood, Chatt Radio, Main Trading and
a couple of more. I would love to run out of tables.
Let me know if you have any questions.
