Frostfest 2010




The Hams of the Richmond Amateur Telecommunications Society would like to extend a personal invitation to the Hams of the Virginia Beach Amateur Radio Club to attend this year's Frostfest on Saturday, February 6th, 2010!


The all-indoor hamfest opens its doors at 8:30 AM (8 AM if you purchase tickets before the event). Yaesu manufacturer's reps are returning, and Icom will be there, too! Frostfest offers flea market vendors, commercial vendors (including Austin Amateur Radio Supply, KJI Electronics, Quicksilver Radio Supply, Hamstuff and many others), VE Testing, and many forums and meetings of all sorts. The Frostfest is the official ARRL State Convention; the meeting begins at 11 AM. We are working hard to make this year's event the best hamfest we've ever hosted. Please join us at the Richmond Raceway Complex on Saturday, February 6th, 2009 for Frostfest!


Complete details (along with online table and ticket ordering) are available at http://www.frostfest.com. Pre-ordered tickets are still $8 ($9 at the gate). Thanks for supporting amateur radio in Central Virginia. Thanks for supporting amateur radio in Central Virginia.

Editor's note: Searching the internet for pictures of last year's Frostfest, I stumbled upon Jim Nelson's superb photos! Jim is a self-described "Camera geek, UNIX geek, and irrepressible cynic" (perhaps Jim will add Ham to that list). The three photos in the article are Jim's, if you get a chance, please take the time to look at all the awesome photos he took at Frostfest 2009!
