Athens Hamfest returning after two years of radio silence (Ohio)

After a two-year hiatus, Athens Hamfest will return to the Athens Community Center, 701 East State Street, Sunday, April 24, from 8 a.m. to noon.

A hamfest is a convention of amateur radio operators, also known as “hams.” This symposium will include a trade show, flea market and a variety of other activities geared to interest radio enthusiasts.

According to co-organizer, Carl Denbow, there will be activities set up both inside and outside of the community center. However, he noted that vendors who wish to set up a table inside the center need to make reservations ahead of time by calling 740-591-8417.

The reservation fee is $10.00 per table. Setup begins at 7:00 a.m. and tables not claimed by 8:30 a.m. may be reassigned.

Denbow described the outdoors portion of AH as “a tailgate-style flea market” where people can sell merchandise out of their trucks.
