The Hot Springs Amateur Radio Club – K0HS would like to extend a very special THANK YOU to the businesses, organizations and individuals who generously donated door prizes and educational materials for Hot Springs HamFest 2026.

📚 Supporting the Future of Amateur Radio

We especially appreciate the educational materials donated by Ham Radio Prep.

Those nine study manuals aren’t simply door prizes. They’re resources that can help someone earn a first amateur radio license, upgrade to General, or take the final step to Amateur Extra.

That’s an investment in the future of amateur radio.

📻 New Radios Going Home From HamFest!

Radioddity also generously provided radio equipment for our HamFest door-prize drawings.

There’s something pretty special about coming to HamFest and heading home with a new radio!

❤️ Please Support Those Who Support Amateur Radio

Community events such as HamFest don’t happen through the efforts of one person or one organization. They happen because businesses, organizations and individuals are willing to step forward and lend their support.

We encourage our members, HamFest visitors and friends throughout the amateur radio community to remember these contributors. When the opportunity arises, please support the businesses that support amateur radio and our community.

To every business, organization and individual who contributed to Hot Springs HamFest 2026:

THANK YOU!
