The Nashua Area Radio Society has been invited by the ARRL to be a spotlighted club in the ARRL Expo at the 2019 Dayton Hamvention®! The theme of this year’s Hamvention is “Mentoring the Next Generation” and the ARRL invited us to be part of their booth because of our focus on Education, new Ham Development, Mentoring, and Youth Outreach.
The Dayton Hamvention, now held at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia, OH, is the largest Amateur Radio Convention in the world. You will see booths from just about any vendor you can imagine. There are also many educational forums on topics such as Contesting, Antennas, AMSAT, SDRs and much more! This year’s Hamvention will be held on May 17th – 19th.
