The Duke City Hamfest for 2024

was a HUGE SUCCESS

The Duke City Hamfest for 2024 was a HUGE SUCCESS and went far beyond anything and everything that we were expecting!

Our thanks go out to the UNM Continuing Education Center and to the Crowne Plaza Hotel for their assistance in putting together this event. After having been dark for a number of years, we were blown away by everyone’s support. Over 450 people attended over the course of the weekend, which far exceeded our expectations.

Slides and other presentation materials from several talks given at this year’s DCHF are now available online at https://www.dukecityhamfest.org/presentations/ . Just click on the presentation to get to the abstracts and speaker info. If we have slides there will be a link there as well.​

Whether you were an Attendee, Volunteer, Presenter, Vendor or a combination of any of these, please know that you have our sincerest gratitude as the event couldn’t have been successful without you. And another Thank You to all of the local clubs and individuals who supported our effort with your cash donations. We are now in an excellent position as we start planning to our next production.

Speaking of next year’s DCHF, please pencil the dates in your calendar now:

September 19-21, 2025.

Thank you again EVERYONE and here’s wishing you all a Happy Holiday Season as 2024 comes to a close. We are all looking forward to seeing you again at the 2025 edition of Albuquerque’s Duke City Hamfest.

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors of the Duke City Hamfest.

Forums

No!  Not that kind of forum. We have a great lineup of forums and classes that should allow everyone to find topics that are both interesting and engaging.

Our forum index is a complete list of presentations along with hyperlinks to speaker bios and presentation abstracts.
