I am posting the upcoming HAMFESTS this spring 2023 within 350 miles of Wichita. I've also included "Dayton" Hamvention as it is the Mecca. but is 800 miles away.
I am contemplating attending some or all of them, provided funds are avalable. If someone wanted to share expenses, I'd consider splitting both our costs. The 4 states QRP convention in Branson promotes their QRP kits. The build this year is an IAMBIC CW KEyer with paddles for a $20 donation. It is not a swap and shop as the others are. I've included links where ever possible plan any adventure. Please note March 4th there are 3 hamfests within 350 miles. THe Irving Texas is the best, as it is a suburb of Dallas and only a 5 hour drive. Dallas has some really great ham clubs.
For further discussion contact me off group.... Keep warm.
