HamSCI will again have a major presence at the 2026 Dayton Hamvention, to be held in Xenia, Ohio May 15-16-17, 2026 at the Greene County Fairgrounds. Hamvention is the world's largest ham radio gathering, recently welcoming over 30,000 attendees per year. The Hamvention, sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA), is an extremely important event for engaging with the amateur radio community, sharing ideas, developing collaborations, and sharing scientific results.

The Hamvention 2026 theme is Radio Adventure, because radio has always been about exploration — of ideas, technologies, distances, and possibilities. From the earliest spark-gap pioneers to today’s digital experimenters and citizen-scientists, amateur radio continues to be a gateway to discovery. HamSCI will be hosting booths 5007 and 5008 (Yes! Two booths the year!) next to TAPR in Building 5.

Members of the HamSCI community will be presenting six talks during this year's Forum (beginning Friday morning, 9:15 AM), on topics ranging from a new Grape design to TID research to the exciting new CINEMA/MOVIE project.

All details (Forum times, maps, where to order a HamSCI lab coat) are on the HamSCI website.
