The Amateur Radio Operators Reception, affectionately known as the Ham Reception, will be held on Tuesday, April 26 at 6 p.m. in room W303-306 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The reception is free of charge and open to all attendees of the 2022 NAB Show.
The HAM reception is sponsored this year by Turner Engineering, and is one of the most anticipated events at the NAB Show. It’s where hundreds of broadcasting’s best and brightest, from company CEO’s to shop technicians, spend a relaxed evening talking shop, swapping tales and enjoying the fellowship of the amateur radio community.
This year, our generous donors have contributed door prizes with a combined value of over $16,000. Every attendee is eligible to win a door prize and will receive a raffle ticket upon entry. This year’s prizes include:
- Yaesu VX-6R dual-band transceiver
- Gift certificate for four (4) Maine Lobsters
- Oculus Quest
- Over 50 ARRL books
We’d like to thank our sponsor and all of our door prize donors for their generous contributions, and encourage anyone who would like to become a part of this tradition to contact NAB VP, Advanced Engineering David Layer. Here’s a complete list of door prizes and donors for this year’s event:
