Ham Radio Testing

Our goal of helping Amateur radio operators is very much dependent on having a place to take the test and get their license.. Our VE team for testing at the hamfest is crucial.

Vendor Sales

Every Hamfest needs lots of vendors to fill the tables and attract hams from all over the area. We need someone to stay in contact with current and future vendors.. Making sure they get a table(s) and plenty of reminders though the year about our show. Also we have to hit up the companies and vendors that have never come to our show before.. very important!!

Vendor Sales

Forums and Speakers

We always have such great activities, soldering classes, kit building, balloon launches, ham radio testing and more.. We are always looking for more.. We need someone to work with us to find and manage these activities. The idea is to grow the fun every year!

We Need Volunteers

Volunteers

The GHH has always been a volunteer run organization. BVARC depends on the success of the GHH for its financial well-being. As such it is clear the need for able body volunteers is key to the job that is GHH. It has been made clear to me that there is a need for a person to help coordinate volunteers. We are searching for someone who is willing to take on recruiting and placing the volunteer staff. To encourage participation and enhance the GHH experience we are working on a plan to have shirts for volunteers and offer free admission to the volunteer staff. This process will be aided by the website and changes in the free admission policy.
