It is with a
heavy heart that I
write this letter
about the future of
Ham-Com. After 41
years, Ham-Com has
decided to close its
doors in lieu of the
restrictions in place
for COVID-19 and the
rising costs of
putting on a show. The
decision was not made
lightly, but the
safety and wellness of
our volunteers,
vendors, clubs,
presenters, and
attendees is our
paramount concern.
We sincerely
thank each and every
person for their
support over the past
years. This starts
with clubs who have
participated in
offering forums,
transmitter sessions,
VE sessions, talk-ins,
and many more things
through the years.
Next, to the
commercial and flea
market vendors who
have helped new hams
get their first radio
to established hams
who are building the
ultimate ham shack, we
thank you for
returning year over
year. To the volunteer
staff, functional
directors, and access
control, your
dedication and hard
work have contributed
to the continued
success of the show
for 41 years. Finally,
to our attendees.
Without you, there is
no show. Over 41
years, we have met a
variety of people with
one common passion,
amateur radio. Ham-Com
is proud to contribute
to bringing people
together to enjoy this
passion. We will
definitely miss this
gathering of the
broader community.
Our thoughts
and best wishes to you
and your families and
“see you on-the-air”.
