   ARRL to Hold National Convention at Orlando HamCation in February 2021

   06/23/2020

   ARRL has announced that Orlando HamCation(R) will host the 2021 ARRL
   National Convention in Orlando, Florida, February 11 - 14. The convention
   will mark the 75th anniversary of HamCation- one of the largest annual ham
   radio gatherings. The convention theme, "reDiscover Radio," is a rallying
   call for radio amateurs committed to developing knowledge and skills in
   radio technology and radio communication.

   The convention will kick off on Thursday, February, 11 with a series of
   day-long ARRL Training Tracks and a National Convention luncheon at the
   DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Orlando at SeaWorld. A complete program and
   list of presenters will be available later this summer. Registration will
   open in the fall. HamCation will host the rest of the convention Friday -
   Sunday, February 12 - 14, at the Central Florida Fairgrounds and Expo Park
   in Orlando.

   HamCation is sponsored by the Orlando Amateur Radio Club (OARC), an
   ARRL-affiliated club. OARC is supported by volunteers from radio clubs
   throughout the region. This year, an estimated 24,200 people attended all
   3 days of the event. Details on tickets and information about forums,
   exhibits (including information for vendors and tailgaters), testing,
   travel, and preferred hotels with special rates are on the HamCation
   website.

   Online ticket sales begin in August. Tickets purchased (postmarked) by
   December 1, 2020, will cost $15 and are valid for all 3 days.

   ARRL and HamCation acknowledge that this year's pandemic has introduced
   uncertainty into any long-term planning. Both organizations will follow
   all government and health requirements and guidelines as plans are
   committed for the 2021 event.
