Vendor Information

We welcome vendors!

The Duke City Hamfest is the largest gathering of Ham Radio operators in the state of New Mexico. With no Ham store in the state, the Duke City Hamfest is a prime marketplace for you to take advantage of. Vendors of radios, electronics, computers, and more are encouraged to attend. Whether you are a large commercial vendor or just someone wanting to sell a few items you will find eager buyers with pockets full of money!

The following vendors will be at this year's Duke City Hamfest -- more to be added soon! (links will open a new browser window):

• Southwest Antennas and Accessories
• Lightblasters
• Alistair Electronics
• Hat and Badge Lady (KBJ Enterprises)
• Ham Radio Outlet (special discounts via hotline at hamfest)

Indoor Vending Information

Indoor tables can be purchased for $20 each without electricity. A premium vendor/commercial table along the walls with access to electricity can be purchased for $35 each. Register early, as tables are offered on first come, first served basis. The number of tables available is based on a formula that weighs heavily on advance registrations. Do not count on a table being available if you don't register in advance.
