ITEMS OF INTEREST

1.  Hamvention 2025 Theme: "Radio Independence"
With Hamvention 2025 set for the weekend of May 16th 2025, the organizers are asking prospective attendees to ponder the question of what "radio  independence" means to them. In announcing the theme, the Hamvention team says "In the course of history radio has been heavily regulated and, in some instances, banned altogether.  What does Radio Independence mean to you?"
Hopefully there will be many answers found in the workshops, seminars and eyeball QSOs at the Greene County Fairgrounds.
