The second annual Northeastern Indiana Amateur Radio Association hamfest was held on Saturday July 11, 2020 at the Auburn Cord Duesenburgh museum. A good time was had by all.
John (W9GOO) reported: In order to put on an event of this nature, the Hamfest Committee composed of Jeff DeLucenay (KB9QG), Jack (W9OWO), Dave (KC9YY), and myself John (W9GOO) worked with the ACD Museum and did the planning and organizing for the event. A Hamfest requires a number of volunteers to do the many tasks needed and we certainly appreciate the contributions of all those who pitched in.
We had good attendance and a good number of inside sellers along with outside trunk sales. The ACD Museum was great to work with and it certainly is a beautiful facility. A lot of complementary feedback has been received.
