DARA is a non profit organization which manages the yearly Hamvention exhibition and fair in May. Hamvention is the biggest event of its kind in North America. Moreover Dayton is the meeting point for the international contest community, hosting also the Contest University.
2017 was a very special year with the move to the new location in Xenia
- a big and successful step for the event with a long tradition.
Michael Kalter, W8CI, from the DARA board stated “The Dayton Amateur Radio Association/Hamvention is pleased to become a Platinum Level Donor. Our club is happy to support this austere event and considers it an opportunity to promote overall excellence in Amateur Radio Operations. The nuances of communication techniques learnt in this event will elevate many areas of the radio service. Especially in times of emergency when solid communication is paramount. Thank you and good luck to all!”
