QSO TODAY VIRTUAL HAM EXPO

[IK0ZCW]

Despite the current COVID-19 situation and the cancellation of all amateur conventions and hamfests, radio amateurs are more active than ever and are seeking new ways to engage with our world wide community. To meet this need, "QSO Today" (the weekly podcast hosted by Eric Guth, 4Z1UG/WA6IGR, https://www.qsotoday.com/) is organizing the first Virtual Ham Expo, scheduled for 8-9 August. It will be held on a live virtual reality platform that simulates a full convention experience with an exhibit hall and exhibit booths staffed by live attendants, speaker auditorium, lobby, and lounges. Attendees will learn from 50+ internationally recognized ham radio confirmed speakers, engage with fellow hams, and see the latest equipment from a wide array of exhibitors. The QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo will run for 48 hours as a live event, then will be available as an on-demand event for another 30 days. Admission is free, and anyone can attend - see https://www.qsotodayhamexpo.com/ for registration and other information.
