No excuses for not coming because there will be a training camp 5-6 Oct and practice days 8-9 Oct to help anyone who is either new or wants to improve skills! We will also have some equipment to rent for those that need it as long as you pre-arrange, so that's not an excuse either!

- Radio Sprint
- Foxoring (Fox-O)
- 144 MHz Classic
- 3.5 MHz Classic
- Search & Rescue (SAR) Team Exhibition
We also have some exciting tourism/cultural outings, a Sat evening awards banquet, and other activities planned. Cider and donuts will definitely be part of the plan!
This event will serve as both the ARRL's USA Radio-O Champs, as well as the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) Region 2 (North/Central/South America) Championship! We welcome international competitors to compete!
