The 2018 edition of the Stuart Hamfest was held on Saturday, March 17th at the Martin County Fairgrounds. We had an absolutely perfect Florida winter day, filled with good food and many Ham Radio friends. Our very special guest this year, Bob Allison WB1GCM, from the ARRL Lab, led a forum on Software Defined Radios (SDR).
An Icom IC-7300, and many other prizes were given away at the event. Visit
