Would you please be so kind and forward this information via email to your

by people like you is our way of promoting this fun Event! Scouts or
Military in uniform get in free.   Our apologies if you get this 2wice as
you may be listed in more than one group. We try not to dupe.
We look at this event as the Desert RATS Club gift to the Ham Community,
not as a profit maker so we keep every ones cost to a minimum to bring
maximum attendance so our vendors can afford to come too to show and sell
you all the latest and greatest Ham gear on the market..  We do not charge
Commercial Vendors or Swap Meet participants a booth fee or any other fee
except $2 entry per person to pay our overhead to put on the event.
Thanks for helping us and the Ham Community  make this one of the best
events out there.

This comment came from Roger Hunt organizer Yuma Hamfest and ARRL Southwest
Division Convention to be held in February:

Quote:
"35 commercial vendors?  Wow, that means you've probably exceeded the
vendor count of every state and division-level convention held in the
United States.  That's quite an accomplishment."
