NARLFEST 2008 HOME PAGE

Newington High School, Saturday June 21, 2008

The NARL Hamfest returns to the High School this year. This will be an expanded event with double the vendor space, more seminars, more parking space than prior years. Because this is the last weekend before ARRL Field Day, it will be the perfect place for those last-minute purchases with no worries about delivery in time.

What is a "NARLFEST?"

A gathering by, for and about amateur radio enthusiasts, produced by the NARL amateur radio club. Vendors of all sorts of radios, electronics, components, hardware, computers and peripherals, wire and antennas display new and used wares for sale; organizations have tables and displays to explain what they are all about; experts lecture and demonstrate a variety of radio-related topics; a Special Event ham station will dispense QSL cards to contacts made over the air; new hams can take the FCC license exams; and ticket holders get a chance to win valuable prizes every half hour during the show.
