The Lincoln Amateur Radio Club knows how to put on a convention. Just look at the growth:
| Year | Entry Fees Paid | Square Footage | Flea Market Tab | Vendor Tables | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 289 | 3,200 | 29 | 17 | Country Inn & Suites |
| 2009 | 526 | 13,706 | 47 | 27 | Lancaster Event Center |
| 2010 | n/a | 20,880 | 70 | 30 | Lancaster Event Center |
We called the 2008, the “End of Winter Hamfest” and budgeted for 150 registrations…289 dropped in!
For 2009. We became the official ARRL Nebraska State Convention and hoped for 400 registrations, and we again pleasantly surprised by 526 registrations!
This year, 2010, we will again be the ARRL Nebraska State Convention and have 50% more space that 2009!
The Lincoln Club has an aggressive education committee. Our classes have yielded over 60 new licenses in the last year!
Plan to join us!
