Posted by Scott, KK6IK · November 11, 2026 10:12 AM

Hi all, I have wanted to experience the Dayton/Xenia Hamvention for many years and, for 2027, I have finally booked an AirBnB in Xenia and purchased my Hamfest tickets. I will be attending both the Hamfest and the QRPArci's "Four Days In May (FDIM)" QRP conference. FDIM runs from May 19 - May 23, 2027 and can be checked HERE. The Dayton/Xenia Hamvention runs from May 21 - 23, 2027 and can be checked HERE. This email is both the let you all know…

Member of the Month is Coming Soon

WVARA is more than repeaters, radios, antennas, and meetings — it’s the people who bring the club to life. Our upcoming Member of the Month feature will introduce you to some of the operators who make our amateur radio community such an interesting and welcoming place.

Each month, we’ll spotlight a WVARA member and share a little about their journey into amateur radio, their favorite parts of the hobby, current projects, operating interests, and perhaps a story or two from along the way. We’re putting the finishing touches on this new feature now, so check back soon to meet our first featured member!
