Here’s something to help alleviate your post-partum ham radio convention funk.
The YouTuber’s Hamfest features a whole bunch of the biggest YouTubers in Ham Radio with some of your favorite names in amateur radio, LIVE!
And you don’t even have to drive halfway across the country to see it – it’s all hosted on YouTube for you, for free.
The YouTuber’s HamFest starts May 23 at 8am Eastern time. It starts off with an introduction and instructions on following the action with Jason from Ham Radio 2.0, right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiylTCUA33c
He will finish his stream with Flexradio, AREDN, and Ham Radio Deluxe and pass it off to K5ATA’s YouTube channel to talk with Becky Schoenfeld W1BXY and Kris Bickell K1BIC from the ARRL. Then he’ll hand it off to me, and so on and so forth.
If you start late, or you get lost (it’s kinda like the real thing, isn’t it?) no big deal. Just catch the YTHF schedule here: https://youtubershamfest.com/
You can also follow a YouTube playlist here with all of the pre-planned livestreams listed: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG8UQxewXrtYykTpyQL3iPxKzdBrp-MW2
The playlist and links in the schedule will work even after the YouTuber’s HamFest is over. All presentations are recorded and will stay up indefinitely for your later viewing pleasure.
You don’t need a YouTube account (which is the same as a Google account) to view, but you will need one if you want to participate in the real-time chat to interact and ask questions with vendors and representatives from Icom, FlexRadio, Packtenna, Bioenno, ARRL, MFJ, and much, much more.
And to, of course, Like, Comment, Subscribe, and hit the bell on everyone’s YouTube channel!
I’ll be bringing you news from Youth on the Air with Neil Rapp, WB9VPG, talk about a new Youth initiative from Remote Ham Radio, and chat with Dustin N8RMA who runs the State of the Hobby ham radio survey.
See you Saturday, bright and early at the YouTuber’s HamFest!
I love dark mode. It’s easier on the eyes, especially when you’re up at 2am for no good reason but to change your website’s colors.
