A little history about our 2017 event ....
This past year we enjoyed many fine forums and exhibits, along with a flea market of over 400 tables, which included the following manufacturers and dealers: Alpha Antennas, Ham World, R&L Electronics, Tower Electronics, and Quicksilver Radio. We had both new and used dealers for radio equipment, computers, electronics and general computer and electronic supplies. Attendance was aproximately 1750.
And our plans for 2018 ....
The 2018 Fort Wayne Hamfest will be open to the public from 9 AM to 4 PM on Saturday November 18th, and from 9 AM to 2 PM on Sunday, November 19th. Admission is only $6.00 per person (good for both days), or $3.00 for just Sunday, and there is plenty of parking in a large, paved parking lot, but please note that the Coliseum charges a $6.00 parking fee as of 9/1/18.
