Cost Codes: U16 means "kids under the age of 16." 14U means "kids 14 years of age and under." Other ages may be shown also. ULS means "unlicensed spouse." XYL (ex-young lady) is one's wife (or more politically correct, one's spouse) regardless of license status. BYOT means "Bring Your Own Tables." All hamfests are held on Sunday
(typically opening at 8:00 am, 6:30 am for vendors) unless
otherwise stated. Hamfest information is provided
as a service to area hams. Every effort is made to ensure
the accuracy of the information listed above, but always
contact the hamfest sponsor prior to
attending to confirm!
Sponsors should notify VARA of changes/corrections to the above
listings to avoid upset patrons. |
*Volunteer Examiner (VE) License Testing: The FCC now requires you apply for a FRN number before attending an exam. Visit www.FCC.gov/FRNREG to obtain your FCC Registration Number before you go (it's quick and easy). Bring photo ID, original license,
any CSCEs, and photocopies of license and CSCEs. Nominal
fee (typically $15) usually charged for ARRL tests; Laurel
testing is free. |
Each hamfest sets it own vendor rules, but here are some guidelines. Vendors should always contact the hamfest committee for specific vendor requirements, last minute prices, etc.
