Welcome to Atlanta!
The Atlanta Hamfest committee is hard at work to bring a quality, highly anticipated Atlanta Hamfest in 2025 that everyone has come to enjoy over the years. Current Show Schedule Dates: Saturday, June 7, 2025 General Admission $10 Times: 8:00AM - 3:00PM Saturday Vendor/Exhibitor Setup :Friday June 6, 2025 12PM-6PM Vendor/Exhibitor/Tailgating Setup: Sat June 7, 6AM-8AM Location: Jim R. Miller Park - 2245 Callaway Rd SW, Marietta, GA 30008 98 Years of History Starting as a true Ham social event atop Stone Mountain to the east, what many have dubbed as "the largest exposed piece of granite in the world," members of the Atlanta Wireless Society, established in 1911, now known as The Atlanta Radio Club would climb the mountain and indulge in their love of the hobby and the fellowship associated with it. Today the event stands as one of the longest running and most popular events including swapping of gear, forums, build sessions, and great door prizes. Additional working club sponsors of the event include The Kennehoochee Amateur Radio Club. |

Antenna Modeling - MMANA-GAL - Lee Johnson N4WYE
Optimize your antenna situation, Modeling Tool MMANA-GAL software is free, easy to learn, contains a large library of existing designs, and has a graphical user interface, provide you with access to the tools, share with you how to predict the SWR, impedances, and propagation patterns, and hopefully excite you to model your current, or new antennas that you envision.

State of the Art Facility
Jim R. Miller Park is a premier facility boasting a huge newly constructed convention space with air-conditioning and state of the art systems. The surrounding plaza is well know for one of the largest tailgating experiences in the southeast, as well as a great layout for RV camping on Friday nights. We have challenged ourselves to raise expectations and produce a quality experience in 2025 at this great facility.

Prizes
We are currently putting together our treasure chest, check back for updates!
Tailgating
Like many hamfests, the Atlanta Hamfest has tailgating (or a swap meet or flea market if you prefer) where people sell their used stuff. Most of the tailgating takes place outdoors on the fairgrounds plaza.
Hands-on Build Sessions
Build an antenna session planned again for this year! Theyve been well attended in the past. Join Bill Perkins KB4KFT as he walks you through building your own simple dipole you can take home and throw up in a tree, ready to go. We're also working on some other projects to include, check back for updates!
