Thanks for attending the 2025 Northeast HamXposition and ARRL New England Division Convention.

See you in 2026!

Open, closed quotes What people are saying about HamXposition:

I hadn’t been to this event in over 15 years and was amazed. There were fifteen venues (forum rooms) with talks in each going on just about every hour, plus the outdoor flea market, indoor vendor area and workshops and other interactive events in the Atrium. I attended an all-day mini-contest university and had a great time meeting other hams and renewing friendships with those I hadn’t seen in awhile. It was truly a mini Dayton-Hamvention!

Diane Ortiz, K2DO, Vice President, YLRL

I was so impressed with the enthusiasm and energy at HamX! I was in the middle of the action and saw the friendly eyeball QSOs, hams comparing notes, planning for the next forum to attend, buying flea bargains, engaging with speakers and exhibitors, and learning/dining at the dinners. Having young hams in the middle of the action in the Atrium and running a number of presentations demonstrated the spirit of the future leaders in our hobby! I ran into a friend from a former job that I hadn’t seen in some time-fun catching up.

Thanks to all, especially our volunteers!

Barbara Irby, KC1KGS

Thank you for all you do for the show! It is an amazing team. There are many working parts and it all comes together for a well run show.

On behalf of the entire group of speakers at this year’s miniCTU, both Doug, K1DG and I wish to thank you for your interest and enthusiasm for one of the most exciting aspects of our hobby! It really does bring all of the elements together! We trust you found it educational and motivational.

Mark Pride, K1RX

“Open Mic Night” was fantastic and very interesting. [K9HI] did a great job MCing this activity. I knew most of the faces but had never actually talked to the story tellers. I learned a lot about others and their experiences in life. Great way to bring people together! Thank you for organizing this activity at HamX
