The New England ARRL Convention in Boxboro is one of the most successful and consistent Ham Radio gatherings in the country!

Please join us for a tremendous convention – the only hamfest that covers all of New England, New York, New Jersey, and even Canada! There is so much to do at Boxboro! Meet and greet your friends at the DX Dinner Friday night. Hear Geoff Fox, K1GF, a well-known Connecticut television meteorologist, at the Saturday night banquet. Walk the flea market and inside exhibits Saturday and Sunday. VE exams and educational forums on all sorts of topics. Take part in the Wouff Hong ceremony Saturday at midnight! Plus, hourly prizes, an Elecraft KX3 for the Saturday night banquet, and the grand prize, a Kenwood TS-590S! This year, we are making a special effort to bring clubs and club groups to the convention. There are special deals on club tables at both banquets.

Yup, I plan to attend, likely on Saturday. I know K7AK here in town would like to attend, too, but he's in very ill health and am not sure if he will be up to it.
