EPA Section Hamfests & Events
A hamfest is a meeting of people interested in Amateur Radio. Hamfests offer exhibits, forums, and fleamarkets for Amateur Radio operators or “hams.” They often include an opportunity to take a licensing exam. You can locate an upcoming hamfest using the ARRL Hamfest and Convention Database.
