Complete information may be found here:  https://www.hamcation.com/ <https://www.hamcation.com/>  If you’ve never attended Hamcation, add it to your bucket list.  IMHO, it is second only to the Dayton Hamvention in terms of size and activities.

We will load it in my CRV for transport to Hamcation Friday morning.  Once the car is full no additional equipment will be accepted. It is not mandatory to bring your gear to my house.  If you prefer to bring it to the swap table on your own, please do so. The member is responsible for transporting gear to and from Hamcation as well as getting it to /from the table.  Please be advised that you may not be allowed to drive into the tailgate area to drop off your stuff.  Be prepared to carry it in.
