Press Release
 
LOS ANGELES - QSO Today host Eric Guth, 4Z1UG, announced that the next QSO
Today Virtual Ham Expo will commence on March 13-14, 2021, over a period of
48 hours.  The first QSO Today Expo was a great success with over 16,000
attendees and the March 2021 event is anticipated to be even larger.  The
QSO Today team has been working hard to make this upcoming Expo even better
with new speakers, panel discussions, kit building workshops, and much more.
Anyone can attend from their home or office. Early Bird Tickets are just $10
(to help cover the cost of this event, $12.50 at the "door") and include
entry for the Live 2 day period as well as the 30-day on-demand period).
Registration can be found at www.qsotodayhamexpo.com.  
 
Eric and his team have put together a world-class line-up of 60+ speakers to
address this conference from the virtual Expo's auditorium.  ARRL, the
national association for Amateur RadioR in the United States, is a QSO Today
Expo Partner.  Flexradio is the Expo's Platinum Sponsor, and Gold sponsors
as of this time include Elecraft, RFinder, and CSI.  
 
At the Expo, amateur radio operators will be able to:
.	Learn from a packed line-up of renowned ham radio speakers such as
Bob Allphin, K4UEE, on "My Favorite DXpeditions to DXCC Top 10 Most Wanted";
Michael Foerster, W0IH, on "Using the Arduino In Your Shack"; and Ron Jones,
K7RJ, on "3D Printer Basics".
.	Take part in Live virtual kit building workshops.  Kits will be
available for purchase and delivered to you in time for the Expo so you can
participate and build from the convenience of your home.
.	Walkthrough the virtual exhibit hall filled with popular amateur
radio suppliers. Watch live product demos of the latest equipment.  New
video technology will be used to provide a better experience for attendees
to engage with exhibitors.
.	Prior to the Expo, take advantage of our new speaker calendar
technology to download speaker times in your local time zones to your Google
or Outlook calendar.  You'll then have a complete schedule of the sessions
you want to join.
.	Return over the next 30 days to listen to speakers you missed during
the Live period, explore, and re-engage exhibitor offerings.
 
"While attendance is expected from traditional in-person convention "goers"
not traveling due to Covid, the virtual Expo is a great opportunity for
those that don't typically attend in-person events - the vast majority of
amateur radio operators.  At our last Expo, we found that 60% of attendees
don't go to in-person national conferences and 40% don't attend state or
local events - mostly because of distance or because of the thousands of
dollars typically spent on travel and lodging." said Eric, 4Z1UG.
 
"The QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo has all of the familiar hallmarks of an
in-person hamfest, including opportunities to connect and learn. Expect to
bump into friends and well known experts and personalities from throughout
our worldwide ham radio community!" said Bob Inderbitzen, NQ1R, ARRL Product
Development Manager
