Default Orlando Hamfest

Hi Graciegirl:
Well,the Orlando Hamcation is one of the South's largest Hamfests,sometimes referred to as the Mini Dayton Hamvention,which is the largest Hamconvention in the world.The Hamcation usually has around 10000 in attendence.
The Hamcation is sponsored by the Orlando amateur Radio Club(OARC),which has over 300 members.
The Orlando Hamcation is held Feb.10th,11th,&12th,20102,at the Orlando Fairgrounds on W.Colonial Drive(Hwy 50)
The link for the Hamcation is www.hamcation.com
The link for the Orlando Amatuer Radio Club is www.oarc.org
I myself belong to the Dayton Amateur Radio Assn.(DARA)which sponsors Hamvention.
Hope this helps.
I have been a ham since 1967,my Wife,Linda,is also a Ham,KC8OKS.My call is W8JWA.
If we do decide to move to the Villages,I will be involved with the Villages Amateur Radio Club,K4VRC.
