If Dayton sounds fun but you need more ham radio hardware in your life, HRO in Milwaukee might be the closest “candy store” for us Minnesotans. it’s closer than Dayton but still hours away.
A great time to visit is September. The local store there has an annual “Superfest” gathering, with local clubs, vendors, and others invited and discounted prices for all.
The festivities are in the warehouse area of the venue.
In 2023 ICOM was there, as was Yaesu. There were vendors for cabling, gadgets, area ham radio clubs and served agencies.
Some local hams even brought their ham radio trailers for show and tell.
If you are in the area in September Superfest might be a fun time to visit.
Other times are fun to visit too, as this is the largest ham radio store in the area.
The event typically is a two day event.
If it strikes your fancy, perhaps we will see you there in 2024.
