2017 HAM Reception at NAB Show

CQ NAB!

A highlight and tradition for many of us attending the NABShow is the Amateur Radio Operators Reception. I started in ham radio in 1975 (WN6BFL) and attended my first NABShow Ham Reception in 1986. Like past years, the Ham Reception will be held on Wednesday evening (April 26) beginning at 6 p.m. in Ballroom B of the Westgate Las Vegas Resort. The Reception is free­ of ­charge and open to all badge-wearing attendees of the 2016 NAB Show. Think about bringing a badge with your callsign on it this year.

The HAM reception is again being co­sponsored by Broadcast Supply Worldwide, DX Engineering and Turner Engineering. Join fellow amateur radio operators from around the world for food, drinks, and fellowship, plus a chance to win some fantastic prizes.

This year, our generous donors have contributed almost $12,000 in prizes. They include:

• Wheatstone M1 Microphone Processor
• Kenwood TH-F6A Tri-band HT
• Icom FC-T70A Dual-band HT
• 3CX1500A7 Tube
• Amazon Echo

See the full list of prizes below.

Every attendee is eligible to win a door prize, and will receive a raffle ticket upon entry. Unlike the odds in Vegas casinos, your odds of winning at the reception are pretty good. This year, we’ve received over 125 prizes. We’d like to thank all of our donors for their generous contributions, and encourage anyone who would like to become a part of this tradition to contact Sharon Devine.
