The annual SELARC hamfest will be on Saturday 1/17 at the Magnusun Hotel / Conference Center in Hammond. Address: 2000 S. Morrison Blvd, Hammond, La. S. Morrison is exit 29 (US51) from I-55 and the hotel is on the west side of the road across from Don's Seafood. Admission is free. There will be prize drawings, license exams, and radio related forums. A hamfest is an amateur radio related swapmeet where individuals and some dealers rent tables to sell their junk... I mean awesome radio stuff. If you're interested in ham radio, it's a good place to meet other hams and get involved with the hobby. Hope to see you there.
