SM054 – Hamfest Wrapup, POTA meet up, and HOA legislation

Hamfest Wrapup

Last weekend was the Ardmore hamfest. The prize winners are all listed on https://hamarama.org/. And, thanks to ALL who showed up, bought raffle tickets, volunteered, and publicized at the six hamfests we had in Oklahoma throughout 2025.
For 2026, we have seven hamfests on the books. We start in January in Checotah, Elk City and Altus in March, Green Country (Claremore) in April, Ham Holiday (OKC) in July, Texoma Hamarama (Ardmore) in October, and we’ll finish the year in Enid in November. Keep up to date with all seven hamfests at https://ok.arrl.org/hamfests/.
