HamX, the Northeast HamXposition and ARRL New England Division convention, is the largest annual gathering of Radio Amateurs east of Dayton and north of Huntsville. And it prides itself in fielding more talks and workshops than any other ham radio convention in the world. We’re not just a trade show, we convene to exchange ideas.
Locally, 2025 will be celebrated as the 250th anniversary of “the shot heard ‘round the world.” But we all know that for over a century Amateur Radio’s signals have been heard ‘round the world.
This year we have sessions on League news, EMCOM-Public Service, Antennas and Propagation, On-The-Air activities, Technology, Contesting and DX, and “History, Invention, and Reinvention” (innovative ideas about what we do and how we do it). License training and examinations are also included.
Have you been on 135 kHz or 122 GHz (or higher)? They—plus everything in between—are on the schedule.
Ever wondered about Amateur Radio’s interaction with quantum computing, or a practical use for artificial intelligence? They’re on the schedule.
Interested in POTA, SOTA, QRP, or any of the myriad aspects of our wonderful hobby. You’ll find it here.
Are you part of an affinity group like YLRL, your ARRL section, or the old New England Net? They’re on the schedule, too. As well as are sessions for MARS, the Spectrum Management Council, YCCC, and NEQRP.
None of the sessions and presentations of HamXposition would be possible without the selfless volunteering of your fellow Radio Amateurs. They deserve our heartfelt thanks for showing that our convention is truly “of, by, and for” all of us.
