Our partners are those ham radio related businesses that support this hobby and this hamfest. Without their generosity we wouldn't be able to bring you this world-class hamfest. These businesses, small and larger, have made a commitment to give back to the ham radio community in a real, tangible way and enable us to complete our mission of promoting the world's greatest hobby in our community and beyond.
Please support these fine businesses when making ham radio related purchases. We thank them sincerely for their sponsorship of the 2024 MARC Hamfest at MAPS!

Sunday, 10/27/24, the Massillon Amateur Radio Club (MARC) will return to MAPS (Military Air Preservation Society hangar) in Green Ohio. This year's Grand Door Prize is the best-selling Yaesu FT-DX10. A big thanks to our sponsor DX Engineering for partnering with us and making this amazing grand prize happen! Another first-class hamfest is on its way!
Heard last year...
"Hi guys, just wanted to let you know what a great time I had at your hamfest yesterday. About six of us from the Pittsburgh area made the trip. This was my first time being there and I was very impressed with the venue and the hospitality that your club showed during the hamfest. I was very surprised at the number of people in attendance along with the number of sellers."
-Curt McCormick, WU3U
"I attend this hamfest every and I always enjoy it greatly. I have made some fine purchases over the years, and I am still using them. One year I won a G-90 which has amazingly very good performance and features such as an SWR sweep and built-in antenna tuner."
Best regards,
John - WO3X
Attention Vendors! (Added 9/1)
This year's hamfest map is up and running. You may access the map, tables, and tickets through our online Vendor Portal: https://portal.conventionforce.com/index.cfm?aid=721.
Everything, including prices, is exactly the same this year as last with a couple of exceptions:
1. A master list of vendors will be distributed to the vendor’s check-In table. This should make check-in easier for those who forget to bring their paperwork with them.
2. A special drawing will be held at 1pm (hamfest close) to include all those vendors who stayed through the entire swap. There will be 3 prizes (gas cards- $50, $30 and $20) awarded to 3 winning vendors. Please note that you will also, as always, be included in the regular door prize drawings.
As of 9/1 the interactive map and table sales go online. At that point anyone may begin to block off tables and pay for them there."
