At its meeting tonight, May 6, the Shenandoah Valley Amateur Radio Club voted overwhelmingly to have the Berryville Hamfest at the Clarke County Fairgrounds in Berryville on the first Sunday in August–August 1, 2021.

Referring to the many, many inquiries SVARC has received about the Hamfest, Club President Ross Slater KE4BCN expressed the club’s excitement over this decisions, “I never realized how much this hamfest meant to other people in in the greater ham radio community other then the club itself.”

“Everyone is more than ready for a real hamfest,” said event chairman, Tom Brownlee AF2D. “We think people are really anxious to get out after so many months of pandemic restrictions.”
