BSA Crew 73 will host Hamfest from 7 a.m. to noon March 8 at Youngsville Free Methodist Church.
The Warren County Hamfest is an annual event that brings together amateur radio enthusiasts from across the region. This celebration of all things related to ham radio offers a unique opportunity for hobbyists to network, share knowledge and display their latest projects. One of the most popular features of Hamfest is the flea market, where attendees can buy, sell and trade radio equipment, parts and accessories.
There will also be a couple roundtable discussions conducted by local experts. These hands-on sessions provide valuable learning opportunities for both novice and experienced operators, organizers said. Another important part of Hamfest is license testing. Anyone attending can test for their FCC license or upgrade their current license.
Attendees also have the chance to win a variety of door prizes throughout the day. From door prizes to a raffle draw, event organizers said there are plenty of opportunities for participants to take home something special.
Warren County Hamfest is open to everyone, whether a seasoned operator or a newcomer to the hobby.
