Publicity

HamXposition volunteers were out in force to promote the Northeast HamXposition (“HamX”) on February 15, 2025, at the local Algonquin Amateur Radio Club Flea Market in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Around 300 people attended the annual flea market, and many interacted with the convention volunteers, watched a photo carousel on a large computer monitor from last year’s HamXposition, and picked up flyers and business cards promoting the convention.

The Minuteman Repeater Association, an Eastern Massachusetts-based non-profit organization providing communications infrastructure and volunteers for community and emergency events since 1971, was active at the 2024 Northeast HamXposition on a number of fronts. Their September 2024 newsletter, The Minuteman, contains a nice recap of their activities.

We’re pleased to share this article authored by Dan Brown, W1DAN, that will appear in the next issue of the Wellesley Amateur Radio Society‘s The Spark.
