Nat-Com takes a trip to Timonium, Maryland and the Maryland State Fairgrounds in order to attend the Timonium Hamfest. This amateur radio show is held every spring just outside Baltimore and features all sorts of radio equipment, computers and lots of other things that have noting to do with electronics. Based in two buildings — the Exhibit Hall and Cow Palace, the event is an annual trip for radio enthusiasts across the east coast. Take a look around the 2008 Timonium Hamfest through the view of the Nat-Com camera.

HAMCOM is Texas’ Largest HAMFEST held every June in Plano Texas. This is just a four and a half minute short of over two hours of film I need to finish editing into a video less than ten minutes. Please subscribe to my You Tube channel by clicking that little yellow button. 73 de Jerry KD5OM ese

Held every Spring at the Merchandise Mart in Charlotte, North Carolina, this year’s hamfest was no disappointment. There were both commercial dealers and “flea market” sellers, not to mention the Girl Scouts and their famous cookies. Take a trip around this event with National Communications as we attend the Charlotte Hamfest.

Closeup of a couple of boards from the bag. I like the multicoloured DIP switches, the machined-hole IC sockets and I discovered that the relays are actually socketed and can easily be removed.

The Ham Fest was a real success for the Club. It’s a lot of work to run a Ham Fest, but Karen KI4GOT, John K4JKA, and Ron AB4A and a lot of other fine people had a hand and did a good job. We had more outside tailgaters/venders then last year and I think that we had more people to attend. We had inside venders that were regulars and also some new ones, I would like to thank them for coming. There was everything from tube boat anchors to modern surface mount radios, and also from antennas to zener diodes. People were having fun buying what they needed and what they didn’t need. I bought a new sound card interface from Tigertronics for my exploration into the digital modes on HF, and some PL-259’s, a couple of M connectors and I guess some other small stuff. Hope to see everybody there next year.

ARRL’s new video, “The DIY Magic of Amateur Radio,” is an 8-minute video that follows some of the innovative, imaginative and fun ways “hams” use radio technology in new and creative ways.

The presentation is directed toward the DIY (do it yourself) movement, which is inspiring a new generation of creators, hackers and innovators.

The message should be helpful for existing members to shape the ways they understand and talk about ham radio.
