Nancy Austin, KC1NEK, writes on ri-arrl.org:
Last weekend’s HamXposition was a success. The technical programming rivaled Dayton alongside something for every interest with two or three options to choose from every hour. At night, nationally-known keynote speakers shared their personal experiences and perspectives on the future of DXpeditioning (Friday) and fractal antennas (Saturday).
Rhode Island’s strong presence at HamXpo 2023 was widely commented on. This in-person annual gathering brought together club members from at least ten RI amateur radio clubs. Many people were meeting the person behind a familiar call sign for the first time, unfolding new opportunities. Thank you to everyone who participated from the following RI clubs, radio infrastructure teams, and national supporters.
- Narragansett Bay Amateur Radio Club (NB1RI)
- Quahog Repeater Network team
- Blackstone Valley Amateur Radio Club (W1DDD)
- Fidelity Amateur Radio Club (K1NQG)
