The Lancaster Amateur Radio Club hosts two hamfests each year. The Batavia Hamfest is held on the third weekend of July, and the Lancaster Hamfest is held in the second weekend of September. Our annual Batavia Hamfest is one of the largest of its kind in all of Western NY, with many vendors and a wide selection of radio and electronic equipment.
Plenty of door prizes up for grabs and breakfast & lunch will be served at both hamfests.
