2005 ORLANDO HAMCATION

I went last year, was impressed, had a good time, and I'm going again this year. I'm a snowbird from Iowa, and this was the first really big hamfest I attended. Almost every commercial name in ham radio had a booth, and there were a number of interesting forums. I attended the forum by Riley Hollingsworth. I think the outdoor tailgate section isn't quite as big, proportionally, as some in the midwest, but it was still fun--until it rained, which is all but certain. I'd recommend arriving and leaving during daylight hours as the traffic is bad--but you probably know that already. There's a good web site at

Well, take this for what it is worth. I have a friend, Steve WU3I, who for the past 12 years has made the trip from Philadelphia, PA to be at that hamfest.

ORLANDO HAMCATION is the "BIGGEST & BEST" hamfest in the southern U.S.A. & has NEVER been a disappointment for the 13 years I've been going!GREAT show & worth the weekend trip for me EVERY year & I'm taking several NEW ham friends this year(2007)for their first taste of a REAL hamfest since they have only been to one other & that was 2006 Tampa which is NOT very large!Go to HAMCATION just once & you will be back next year!Jacksonville,Fla.could learn some SERIOUS lessons from Orlando's ham clubs on putting on a GREAT hamfest WITHOUT all the fighting & worrying overwhich club or group who might make a dollar more than the other or who's in charge!
