Hamfest 2008

Amateur Radio a Century of Innovation

Committee

 

A major hamfest can be a difficult event to plan. There is a lot of issues to take into consideration before things even begin to take shape. These committee members are a dedicated group of individuals with a variety of skills and interests. Most of the committee members are also involved in other aspects of amateur radio and club activities, not to mention personal and professional commitments. Although we've been planning for over a year now, there are still some things that need to be finalized. We know that the amateur community in general has been exceptionally patient with us as our information is not always quick to flow.

Please continue to be patient, and stay tuned for more updates to this website and other information pertaining to the event!

See you in Winnipeg in August 2008!!
