AMSAT will return to the 2025 Dayton Hamvention with a strong lineup of events, volunteer opportunities, and social gatherings. The event is set for May 16-18 at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia, Ohio, where AMSAT will again serve as one of the larger exhibitors, occupying booths 1007-1010 and 1107-1110 in Building 1. Alongside its booth activities, AMSAT will host a variety of forums and after-hours events designed to engage and inform amateur radio enthusiasts.
In preparation for Hamvention, AMSAT is actively seeking volunteers to help staff the booth. Around 20 volunteers assisted during last year's event, providing a crucial link between AMSAT and the broader amateur radio community. Whether attendees can offer a few hours or the entire weekend, AMSAT welcomes all who are interested. Those wishing to volunteer or request more information can contact Phil Smith, W1EME, via email at w1eme [at] astrocom [dot] net.
The AMSAT Forum is scheduled for Saturday, May 17, from 1:35 PM to 3:10 PM EDT in Forum Room 2. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early and catch the ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) Forum at 12:40 PM in the same room. The forum will provide updates on current projects and future plans within the AMSAT community.
