Handwritten logs aren’t a thing of the past! Some of our fellow amateur operators, such as those with vision impediments, still record their contest logs on paper but many contests now require digital Cabrillo logs.

John Pooley, W1JPI, will discuss the applicability and merits of Artificial Intelligence including Optical Character Recognition and newer technologies like Generative AI for multiple topics within the Amateur Radio hobby with a focus on log transcription.  

Join Kenneth Carr, KE1RI, as he will present on the New England Wireless & Steam Museum, located in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.

Ken writes, “We will bring with us a larger number of very early amateur and consumer radios and related equipment.”

Join Hisen Zhang, KD2TAI, for his talk entitled, “De-mystifying Quantum Computing: Application of RF Control System,” one of the many outstanding technical talks that will be presented at the 2025 Northeast HamXposition in Marlborough, MA, August 21-24, 2025.

Find out about the Courage Kenny Handiham Program, who they serve, and the many volunteer opportunities. The Handiham Program turns 58 this year, and Program Coordinator Lucinda Moody, AB8WF, has lots of stories to share from over the years along with plans for the program’s future at the 2025 Northeast HamXposition!

Fred Lass, K2TR, will present his ever-popular talk on “Wideband Wire Antennas” at the 2025 Northeast HamXposition.
