Dinners

Dinners

Dinners are an important social aspect of the amateur radio community, providing opportunities for operators to meet in person, share stories, and build stronger relationships.

Whether organized by local radio clubs or informal gatherings among friends, dinners help foster a sense of camaraderie among hams and offer a chance to discuss projects, equipment, and experiences in a relaxed setting.

Amateur radio operators are also known as "hams." The origin of the term is unclear, but even though it is not capitalized, many of us believe it stands for "have another meal."


General Ham Resources

Dinners are local events. Organize a lunch or dinner in your area and you too can enjoy the camraderie.
